Illuminating our innate capacity for healing

Contemplative psychotherapy illuminates our innate capacity for embodied healing, well-being, internal freedom and genuine happiness. My approach to contemplative psychotherapy is rooted in Buddhist psychology, somatic and relational psychodynamic psychology, and also honors clients’ spiritual traditions and principles. Working with these approaches and principles guides each individual’s unique journey and healing.

Therapy that honors the soul

A contemplative approach to psychotherapy honors the existential and spiritual realities of clients, holding concerns in the context of larger reality, both in terms of one’s holistic sense of self as well as the world around us. The art of healing is not a medical reductionist process, but rather a holistic and inclusive art that holds mind, body, heart, spirit, and environment as all essential to the scope of healing.
