MINDFULNESS
Mind Body Healing
Consultation in mindfulness practices is available, offering an opportunity to build specific mindfulness based skills as tools for daily living. I provide both stand-alone mindfulness consultation and use mindfulness practices in my psychotherapy work by incorporating mindfulness interventions and strategies in session.
Mindfulness can be considered the cultivation of moment-to-moment awareness of what is arising in the present with a nonjudgmental quality; essentially, by paying attention on purpose and using this awareness to help observe thoughts, feelings, and sensations that might arise, we can engage tools and strategies for support in the moment.
I have much postgraduate study and experience folding mindfulness into clinical work and hold a Certification in Mindfulness Facilitation from UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center.
“Mindfulness training has been shown to be effective in relieving the suffering of numerous medical and psychological conditions while enhancing well-being. In particular, affective disorders including anxiety, depression, and personality disorders are particularly well suited.” (Sanders, K. Mindfulness and Psychotherapy. 2010)
