Our first session is about exchanging information about you, me, and our process together. It’s important to me that you feel informed, safe, and heard.
Beyond that, our format is not predetermined. I meet you where you are at—however you are that day. With curiosity, we explore what’s going on in your life, including sensations, emotions, and mental and behavioral patterns.
My favorite ways to contribute to the exploration include questions, stories, exercises, and meditations that may lead to insight into patterns, foster alternative perceptions and attitudes, and create possibilities for new actions.
Clients often say they feel:
Here are some of its most well-documented advantages.
…and it was difficult, boring, and unrewarding. That’s normal in the beginning…and can be avoided. With me, we’ll explore what works best for you. Together we’ll develop a protocol that’s tailor-made for you. It will be simple, effective, and easy to follow.
The original goals of meditation are liberation…unconditional happiness…profound peace… and boundless love. Once you are steady on the path, you’ll catch glimpses of the reality that underlies your life situation and you’ll taste the deepest possible transformation for a human being.
…focuses on the lived experience in the body (soma is Greek for body). The emphasis is not on what happened in the past, but on how the past “lives” in the body. How your body feels from within is vital to making shifts in perception and action that change your day-to-day life.
Love your body because you only have one (Annan Ymous)
…focuses on mental processes like thoughts, feelings, and conscious and unconscious experiences. (Psyche is Greek for mind and spirit). Together we look for and minimize patterns that negatively impact your life—and we foster patterns that enhance your life.
Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced (James Baldwin)
Yes, to both. Many clients appreciate the flexibility of online meetings, while others value face-to-face interactions. We'll choose the option that best fits your needs and lifestyle.
After our initial 3-month commitment, you're free to pause or stop at any time. Many clients find that giving mindfulness a fair chance leads to surprising and rewarding results, but I understand if you decide it's not the right fit for you.
Every client's path is unique. About 1/3 feel complete after 6 sessions. About 1/3 continue for years because their experience is deep, rich, and rewarding. About 1/3 come and go as the stresses in their lives come and go.
Your learning is more important to me. I am willing for you (and me) to be uncomfortable in the learning process. Learning, by definition, includes unfamiliar territory. When discomfort is paired with curiosity and courage, the results can be surprising and dramatic.
I believe kindness is essential, rooted in love and awareness. Approaching each client with genuine care and generosity allows me to create a safe space for you to explore, learn, and grow.
No, I don’t take insurance.
