REST YOUR MIND -OPEN YOUR HEART For over 25 years I have been both a LMFT and a Buddhist meditation teacher (see OccidentalLagunaSangha.org), but I work with clients of all beliefs. I bring mindfulness practices, focusing therapy, depth psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy and lots of life experience to my work with clients. Clients often bring depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions to our work. Together with empathy and compassion we explore what cuts us off from being more fully present with our lives.
MINDFULNESS BASED PSYCHOTHERAPY COMBINING BUDDHIST TEACHING AND WESTERN PSYCHOLODY AND OFFERING PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS.
I have been a therapist for over twenty years,a meditation teacher for thirty. I have also worked as a Hospice Director, workshop leader and have taught university courses on Meditation and Psychotherapy.
