I help people develop resources to work more mindfully with impermanence. Aging, illness, death, identity transitions, relationships – all bring us face to face with fear, anxiety, and insecurity. The courage and wisdom to live through change and loss become possible with a clear, steady commitment to loving oneself and others. I work with my clients to become curious, have a sense of humor, feel grace, cultivate friendships, and embody kindness in order to access joy in the everyday moments of life, even with life's many challenges.
As a psychologist, I seek to integrate therapy with all paths of self-reflection and spirituality. Buddhist philosophy teaches that while we cannot prevent an arrow from striking us, we can avoid the reaction of planting a second arrow of judgment and criticism. Together, we cultivate unconditional friendliness toward the experience of being human.
Therapy works best through a process of befriending oneself and being honest. Like the two wings of a bird, we need clear seeing and compassion to take flight into the unknown. I am honored to explore creating a culture with you of acceptance and change, as a mindfulness guide, collaborator, and fellow journeyer.
