MY PHILOSOPHY
At Use Your Noodle Therapy, LLC, I believe that it is important to use what you have available to you to help change your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills, my goal is to help you thrive and create a life worth living. I believe in the importance of treating the whole person through encouraging making both mental and physical changes in life.
I am ready to teach you how to use your noodle more effectively!
