Practice Information

As a Heart-Centered, Mindfulness-based counselor, one of my goals is to help those I am privileged to work with, gain conscious awareness and consequently a new perspective of their lives and themselves as they currently are. Learning to view challenges as opportunities for personal growth and learning to accept "what is" in life, rather than resist, are core principles that I help facilitate my client's awareness of. The results are usually beneficial, as they decrease the amount of our internal suffering and increase inner harmony. And, since our outer experience reflects our inner reality, the benefits can also effect what and how we manifest outwardly in our lives. I specialize in working with those whose perfectionistic standards and many "shoulds" in life have caused them to judge themselves harshly, resulting in behavior patterns and emotional turmoil that have thwarted their happiness. Some treatment specialization areas I have focused on in my practice are: Healing: depression; anxiety; relationship issues; low self-esteem; addictions; co-dependency, etc. Also, marriage and couples counseling, personal growth, anger management, stress management, parental support, grief counseling, etc.

Education

I had the privilege of graduating from the Spiritual Psychology Program at the University of Santa Monica. It is a unique, non-religious world wide program where the principles of spirituality are interfaced with psychology. I received my Master's degree from USM in Counseling Psychology. I worked at the Community Resource Center in Encinitas and for several years have been enjoying a private practice in Encinitas. I have completed EMDR l and EMDR ll training.

Bio:

My deepest heartfelt passion for living an aware and conscious life and my meditation practice over many years has greatly influenced the focus of my therapy practice. I consider my meditation practice and mindfulness skills, that my goal is to share with others, as the very center of my life. They are the threads that are woven through the therapist-client connection, and are part of what contribute to creating the resulting rich and authentic fabric of wholeness that can result from the therapy process. I believe that our joy is felt when we open our hearts and access the depths of who we truly are. My deepest desire is to make the greatest effort toward that goal in my own life and to help others to do the same.
