Operating in Export and Pittsburgh, I use a mindfulness-based cognitive approach, I help people deal with self-concept, self-esteem, identity formation and develop the ability to make conscious choices. I deal with bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, anxiety, and depression. I have been successful with my own full impact mindfulness technique in dealing with disassociation and psychosis, PTSD and trauma.

Mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy is a way to "step back and become the observer behind the thinker." I do not teach thought blocking or suppression however challenge individuals to challenge thought, feelings and their "disregulated thinker."

I am in long term recovery from drug and alcohol addiction and am actively engaged in 12 step recovery and have had my own "time of troubles" which give me a unique perspective. I treat "people not diagnosis" and use a holistic mind, body and spirit approach to wellness.
