Testimonials are a helpful resource to learn about what my approach feels like for people when they've been in therapy with me. Below describes my approach from my point of view.
My practice is mindfulness-based.
My practice is mindfulness-based.
I incorporate meditations into sessions and teach ways to practice mindfulness in everyday life. In these practices we learn to be present with our body, thoughts, feelings & surroundings. Mindfulness teaches us how to be aware of our experiences without judgement and increases our self-compassion & acceptance. Studies have shown it can improve anxiety, emotional instability, anger, insomnia, chronic pain, attention, concentration, responses to trauma & stress, and more.
