PSYCHOTHERAPY

You can learn to relieve
mental and emotional suffering
and cultivate genuine happiness.

5-WEEK MBRP COMING SOON!

Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy is an evidence-based treatment for depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. I specialize in helping people heal depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship distress, using a mind/body approach. I also offer skills that help those with chronic pain or chronic illnesses learn how to lessen their suffering. You can learn to cultivate mental clarity, inner calm, emotional equanimity, and greater resilience. These important qualities decrease mental and emotional distress, stress-related physical/emotional symptoms, and relational problems.

The internal narratives most people tell themselves about themselves are stories of self-loathing, self-judgment, self-blame, and self-doubt. Generally, these negative internal narratives are untrue. The real story of you is one of self-efficacy, lovableness, acceptance, and generosity. Our work will allow you to directly experience the distressful contents of mind, and open to your innate radiant, clear, joyful, and unperturbed mind. Mindfulness-based psychotherapy emphasizes relieving suffering through the cultivation of three main areas of human development: 1) insight or wisdom, 2) skillful behavior, and 3) loving-kindness and compassion for self and others.

When we can be with things as they are without habitual negativity, increased well-being, creative problem solving, and skillful responses arise naturally. Mindfulness, compassion, and acceptance are the core of a life lived with enthusiasm and joy and the path to returning yourself to wellness.

I often work with professionals in high-stress careers, couples in distress, adolescents (particularly depressed, anxious, or stressed teens) and with adults who struggle with emotion dysregulation. Additionally, I am an outpatient clinician for the Veterans Administration San Jose/Palo Alto.

I am a teacher of Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) for addiction, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for depression relapse prevention, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

My private practice fees are as follows:

• $125.00 per individual therapy session (approximately 55 minutes).
• $185.00 per conjoint (marital/family) therapy session (approximately 85 minutes).
• Groups fees are determined by the length of program
