In my own pursuit of truth, I'm grateful to have had many wonderful experiences and teachers. One wise teacher would often remind me that “no one cares what you know, they care that you care.”
I practice cognitive behavioral and other evidence based therapies, but in the end, care is the secret ingredient.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Modalities
Mindfulness and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy
This nonjudgmental method combines emotions, behaviors and body sensations to create a stronger sense of well-being and mental health. MBCT is frequently used for both individuals and groups and is safe for all ages.
Cognitive Behavioral And Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy
CBT helps us to understand how our thoughts influence our feelings and behaviors. These thoughts and feelings are often negative and serve to reinforce and compound faulty beliefs. This can result in problematic behaviors and can affect relationships, family, work, social situations and school.
In CBT, sessions are typically more structured and you will be tasked with applying what you have learned in real-life situations. If you are comfortable with self-analysis and introspection then CBT may be a good fit. Evidence of CBT’s effectiveness has been demonstrated through many studies. It has proven to be as effective as medication and the benefits have been shown to last longer.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic psychotherapy focuses on self-awareness and understanding how past experiences affect present behavior. In therapy I facilitate self-exploration, examining emotional blind spots and understanding relationship patterns. Early life experiences and dysfunctional patterns that have developed over time are explored to gain insight into current problems. Recent studies show that Psychodynamic psychotherapy is effective for a wide range of mental health symptoms, including depression, anxiety, panic and stress-related physical ailments.
