Listening with Purpose Transforming Together
My approach to therapy is rooted in mindfulness and the Buddhist teaching of approaching ourselves and our environment with curiosity, rather than judgment—a perspective known as a 'beginner’s mind.' By embracing this mindset, we can cultivate resilience and emotional flexibility, fostering a more compassionate relationship with ourselves. I also believe in the importance of challenging rigid, habitual beliefs or behaviors that may have become maladaptive in your life. Additionally, I value the powerful bond between humans and animals and its potential for healing. When appropriate, I incorporate animal-assisted therapy into sessions to support the healing of complex trauma
