Therapist Overview
I have been practising since 1969. I currently see children, adults, and families. I use cognitive interventions to help reduce conceptual thinking patterns that lead to suffering. I use mindfulness to reduce tensions and anxiety to help facilitate the individual’s natural ability to return to a balanced and pleasurable state inherent in all human beings. Mindfulness is a cognitive state that is present-centred. Staying out of the past and future conceptual thoughts can reduce pain and suffering associated with most problems we experience. Once we train the mind to identify with the present a natural sense of well being can occur. Over the past 45 years, I have helped hundreds of people enliven their personal experience and accept themselves as well as others. Self-compassion, witnessings others free of judgment and learning how to reduce fear and guilt can promote well being and reduce physical symptoms to chronic problems.
