Philosophy and Approach

Mindfulness is the foundation of my work. Often, we are unconsciously operating on autopilot, and that is when we can get our buttons pushed and become reactive. Cultivating mindfulness helps us to slow down, become more aware of our negative thoughts, feelings and actions and begin to break our chain of reactivity.


As human beings we are all vulnerable and susceptible to shame, grief, fear and sadness. But none of these emotions are bad or negative, per se.  It’s only our judgment of them as wrong that creates emotional disturbance.  Being mindful allows you to access and accept ALL parts of your being. This, in turn, brings you into a state of equanimity - a place we’d all like to be.


My therapy sessions are often conducted with the client in a meditative state.  This allows deeper, unconscious feelings and emotions to be more quickly accessed.  Heart and mind are then more open, and actions more clear and conscious.  By bringing awareness and acceptance to negative, ingrained patterns of thoughts and feelings, you can begin to break the cycle of reactivity and your feelings no longer hold as much power over you. In other words, you’re no longer over-identified with your emotions.  From this new vantage place it’s possible to challenge irrational, negative beliefs that are not serving you, and choose more constructive and conscious thoughts and actions.  This process may bring you in touch with new visions and dreams and affords you the opportunity to manifest them in your life.

I create a safe, sacred space for clients and utilize a variety of modalities, tailored to each individual to help them access their own inner knowing, their true Self, their Spirit. An array coping skills and techniques are then used so that the client can take action and fulfill their life purpose and dreams.
