I own my private practice, Compassion-Based Happiness; I'm the creator of Happiness-Based Mindfulness, and the author of "You Are Love." I work to help you experience more peace, happiness & compassion. I've done over 13,000 sessions & I apply compassion, empathy, strength-building, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, REBT, Solution-Focused, EMDR, Narrative & SSP techniques. I create personalized happiness & self-compassion plans to figure out how to improve your experience of the world:)
I'm an LMFT, I've recently completed my 2nd doctorate, and I will graduate with a master's degree in Happiness Studies this May 2025. I also hold a PhD and 2 Master's degrees, am a clinical hypnotherapist, Reiki master & yoga/mindfulness instructor. I am the editor of two happiness books and am completing a book publication on Happiness-Based Mindfulness.
I provide traditional 1-hour therapy sessions and 2-3 hour intensives. I don't want finances to be an obstacle for anyone to receive treatment & am happy to work with your circumstances. I believe the most important thing is to achieve higher levels of happiness, peace & self-compassion.
