My Approach to Helping
I was trained at Naropa University in Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology.
Life is about relationship. Whether it's a relationship with one's mind or body, other people, work, activities, or nature, life is an ongoing relationship. So, how do we operate in relationship with harmony, joy, courage, and love? The answer to that question is the essence of what contemplative counseling is all about. In the process we will become more naturally who we are, face our fears, find humor and purpose in the mysteriousness of life, and discover how we most naturally give our gifts to the world. I want to assist you in becoming a healthier person who is more engaged and present with life. We can do this together.
I love working with couples (very much) and people dealing with other relationship issues, be it family, friends, work, etc. I also work with adult and adolescent men with men-related issues such as intimate partnerships, sexuality, work life, and awareness of social conditioning. I run a men's group on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-7:30 called Brother Roots.
Please feel free to reach out. I would love to hear from you and potentially work together. And if we are not a good fit, then hopefully our conversation will aid you in finding the right counselor for you at this time in your life. Take good care.
