Personal Bio
All humans experience pain and stress in life along with the propensity to become entangled in distressing thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations when challenges arise. This often leads to perceptions, interactions, behavior, and decisions that add further distress to both the mind and body. I attempt to facilitate increased mindfulness with individuals through improved insight, awareness, compassion, non-judgment, and decreased entanglement in the distressing internal dialogue. I incorporate mindfulness, person-centered, cognitive and compassion based approaches as I guide individuals toward increased connection with inner peace.
The following provides a glimpse into my style of therapy:
“I beg you…to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer…”
– Rainer Maria Rike
