By blending the best of western therapeutic approaches with eastern wisdom, I help my clients:

  • Say, feel, and be present with what needs to come forward
  • Release the emotional grip of painful past experiences
  • Increase self-understanding and awareness of present moment experience
  • Develop healthier, more satisfying relationships and work
  • Create a deeper sense of ease and balance
  • Find more flexibility in how to respond to your life’s circumstances and other people
  • Skillfully navigate emotions and
  • Build a stronger, lasting and life-affirming connection to yourself

One of the fundamentals of my approach with clients is mindfulness, creating non-judgmental awareness and acceptance of your mental, emotional, and physical experiences. Mindfulness can bring forth feelings, sensations, images, memories, and more – material with which we can explore your inner world. It can also calm down your nervous system, which helps you hold a bigger perspective on your life.

I find mindfulness enormously helpful, even in very small doses, as it helps clients regulate their emotions, their thoughts, and their somatic experiences (i.e. anxiety), inside and out of the sessions.
