Within a safe, empathetic and non-judgemental environment I will collaboratively work with you to identify your needs and goals. With compassion, empathy and care for all who find themselves in need, I strive to provide the best help possible based on current research. I will journey with you as you forge new paths in your life, within your relationships. Whether you are experiencing feelings of despair, loneliness, a sense of disconnect or you have a history of significant loss, trauma, unsatisfying relationships; Intimacy issues, life long feelings of sadness, of not fitting in, belonging, unable to experience true joy,I'm here.
Contemplative counseling; a blending of western psychology and Eastern thought, spirituality using a whole person, humanistic client centered approach focused on attachment, trauma, loss, co-dependency, addictions and ACOA issues. Mindfulness fosters embracing your healthy power and control in life. Stop repeating unhealthy behavior patterns. Use Cognitive Behavioral, Emotionally Focused, Acceptance Compassion Therapy and narrative.
Contemplative Counseling is an approach to psychotherapy that includes the use of personal contemplative practices and insights informed by spiritual tradition of Buddhism. This differs from more traditional methods in that the therapist brings to the therapeutic relationship qualities of mindfulness and compassion in order to help clients access their fundamental goodness and natural wisdom.
