Mindfulness Based Counseling

Are you having trouble feeling like yourself?

Stress may make you feel…

• Overwhelmed by competing demands
• Worried about the future
• Unhappy about your position in life
• Lonely and isolated
• Irritable and angry
• A lack of enjoyment in activities

 I can help you…

• Find a greater sense of calm and relaxation
• Improve your mood 
• Improve focus
• Improve relationships
• Decrease anxiety
• Decrease depression
• Recover more quickly from stressful events

Making a decision to reach out for counseling is an act of courage and the first step to finding the support you need to bounce back after loss, acute stress or major life transitions. 

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Carl Rogers

People who benefit from individual therapy may be under stress, having relational difficulty, looking for personal-growth, or experiencing a mental illness, such as Depression, Anxiety or Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.

My approach is individually tailored to meet your needs and designed to improve quality of life, self-awareness, and positive feelings such as happiness, confidence and relaxation.  You will learn practical and effective strategies that you can use over the course of a lifetime.  You will also be given resources and home practices to help you learn and grow between sessions.  

 I aspire to provide a client centered atmosphere that is supportive, collaborative, and honest. My approach is to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Based Interventions.

COVID 19 Response 

In the wake of the evolving COVID 19 pandemic, I’m offering secure online video chat and phone sessions only.  I prefer to see people in person, however I am doing my best to help flatten the curve.
