Anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and the endless stress of our fast paced society contribute to suffering and interfere with our ability to enjoy life. Working with couples and individuals from a mindfulness-based perspective to promote compassion, patience, and kindness is my primary goal and the approach I take in therapy. When we learn to be true to ourselves, we are better able to give to others and appreciate the abundance in our lives. My intention is to support clients in learning to honor and accept themselves.
My approach to therapy is mindfulness-based, in which I facilitate a non-judgmental understanding and acceptance of oneself. Gaining insight into our emotions, thought patterns and behaviors allows us to make changes in order to fortify our inner strength and cultivate greater happiness.
Change takes time, but even small changes in the way we perceive ourselves and others can make a significant difference. I would appreciate the opportunity to work with you to affect positive changes and increase happiness in your life.
