I do not practice traditional psychotherapy. My aim is to teach you how to effectively apply mindfulness to your daily process. I have taken ancient techniques regarding mindful awareness and tweaked them to be more applicable to modern day life.
Work as a team to address the difficulties that brought you to therapy. As a client led therapist, I view you as the expert on yourself, your struggles, and your goals but will provide the type of support you need to pursue the change you desire.
