Personalized 1-on-1 counseling
Together, we’ll identify your goals for

get in the way.
A collaborative effort
As the client, I view you as the expert in your
own life. During sessions, I’ll walk along beside
you and help you see things from a different,
healthier perspective.
CBT
I use CBT to help clients examine faulty
thoughts and limiting beliefs that can
impede progress towards their goals. You’ll
learn to slow down and take time to examine
your thoughts as you encounter situations.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness consists of paying attention to your thoughts and feelings while accepting them without judgment. Remember, it’s OK to think and feel anything, it’s what we do that matters. You will learn mindfulness practices to become more aware and accepting of yourself.
