Specialized Training:
I trained in a variety of psychotherapeutic techniques including mind/body modalities. In addition, I have extensive training and teaching experience in Mindfulness Meditation. Due to studying and living in Asia and the Middle East for years I have a broad multi-cultural background and thus clients from diverse traditions feel readily understood.
Personal Statement:
For over 40 years I've worked with individuals, couples and groups facing a full range of the many challenges that life presents such as: depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, couple conflicts, all manner of traumas etc. My clientele includes people from all walks of life, ages, sexual preferences, ethnic and religious backgrounds. In addition, I provide consultation and counselling to those wanting to optimize their talents and abilities. I see clients as social, physical, intellectual and spiritual beings, thus all of these areas are potentially addressed in our work together. Because of the long years spent in Asian monasteries and ashrams and years of teaching a variety of meditation techniques, including Mindfulness and Loving Kindness, a unique therapeutic approach has naturally developed. I utilize a holistic approach which might include lifestyle coaching regarding diet, exercise, meditation practices. I am available exclusively for online and telephone counselling for both long and short term therapeutic work. I work with clients located anywhere in the world.
