About
I am interested in patients who want to be joyful and content, to cherish their relationships and appreciate the present. Many of us feel pressured, juggling many obligations, believing we need more, more achievements, more things. This "unsatisfactoriness" leads to depression and anxiety. We will suffer less if we appreciate the present more, whether we are caring for children or an aging parent or facing aging ourselves. I am interested in helping people who want to become happier by living in the present and letting go of beliefs that create suffering. Mindfulness based cognitive therapy encourages people to become more aware of what really matters. A mindful approach to parenting, marriage, school, aging or work will change these endeavors from drudgery to joyous! After many years focusing on children, as I approach retirement I am adding aging concerns to my practice. My years of professional and life experience (wife, mother, grandmother) allow me to be nonjudgmental and accepting of many viewpoints and perspectives on relationships and choices people make. My patients tell me that because I am easy to talk to and comforting it enables them to take risks and change.
