I am interested in working with you to develop healthier coping strategies using mindfulness based approaches to prevent depressive relapse; to manage anxiety, stress and chronic pain, improve sleep, and to prevent burnout. I work collaboratively with you to focus on your goals for change to improve functioning in the meaningful occupations and activities of your life. By learning how to be more mindful during ordinary activities, you can also enjoy your chosen activities more, and live with more ease.
Since 2006, I have taught mindfulness based interventions to individuals and groups in a community mental health and addictions setting, at health clinics, to health care professionals, and university students, for managing anxiety and stress, preventing depressive relapse, managing chronic pain, preventing addiction relapse, and managing psychosis.
I am committed to making evidence-based mindfulness based interventions accessible. I am a Certified MBSR and MBCT Teacher, and a mentor in MBSR and MBCT at the Centre for Mindfulness Studies. I am a UCLA Training in Mindfulness Facilitation program Advisor, and a UCLA MAPs Instructor, and have also developed specialized mindfulness courses.
