In addition to traditional talk therapy, I offer training in Mindfulness-based practices. Simply stated, mindfulness is the practice of staying present in the moment, by witnessing our habitual thoughts and emotions rather than reacting to them. Mindfulness is a powerful tool for working with negative thoughts and emotions, and is extremely effective in managing anxiety, stress, depression, and addictive behaviors, to mention just a few. I provide training in techniques that can produce dramatic results, often in a matter of weeks.
The services I offer are effective if you are:
- dealing with a recent loss or having difficulty
letting go of the past- struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, fear or sadness
- having difficulty maintaining healthy lifestyle choices and managing stress
- dealing with compulsive or addictive behaviors with alcohol, drugs, or food
- repeating unwanted patterns of behavior or experiences
- experiencing a loss of motivation, or feelings of emptiness
- having difficulties communicating in relationships with family, friends, or co-workers
- having difficulty sustaining intimate relationships
- struggling with issues relating to sexuality or sexual orientation
- having difficulty navigating major life transitions
