Based on a client's therapeutic goals and needs, my aim is to help them gain a greater understanding of themselves and their values, identify problems and attitudes and behaviors which may contribute to those problems, explore alternative courses of action, develop coping skills, find their strengths, and feel better. I assist clients in developing self-awareness, balance, and acceptance using a holistic approach while encouraging change and an understanding of themselves and their environment and culture. I use various psychotherapeutic techniques including when appropriate, meditation/mindfulness in which I am certified. I've facilitated meditation and mindfulness groups for over 25 years but recognize that meditation and mindfulness are not appropriate for every client.
