My Approach
Mindful psychotherapy is a working partnership where our goal is to deeply understand and simply change the ways you live in the world.
Patiently, respectfully and compassionately, you and I will explore what it is like to be you by listening to and talking about your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Together we try to understand what is going on for you and what is going wrong for you.
When we have a comprehensive knowing of the dominant emotional and cognitive patterns in your experience, and a respectful acceptance of how these patterns have preserved and advanced what is precious to you, change can begin. With encouragement and more understanding, we develop new ways for you to express yourself, and relate to others.
In my practice over the last 18 years, I have worked with people from 17 to 71 years of age, who are artists and accountants and everything in between, with people from all walks of life, from all kinds of histories and passions.
In recent years I have been receiving a number of referrals of people who are artistically talented or intellectually gifted, and from parents of children who have been assessed as gifted or talented.
