Mindfulness Guidance

The Buddhist path of becoming a teacher includes the empowerment to offer Buddhist Counseling. This approach includes introductory Buddhist mindfulness meditation techniques and teachings on acceptance, forgiveness, compassion, loving-kindness, joy and equanimity.

My specialty includes Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness (TSM) techniques that support trauma recovery. From a TSM lens, It is important to develop personal mindfulness practices that honor where you are in your recovery process. This work is best done in conjunction a clinician.

I will assist you in developing a personal home practice. I will guide your spiritual journey and the implementation of these practices into your daily life.

This is an open space for you to bring to the conversation whatever is on your heart-mind. We will address what is present in your life and use specific meditations to respond to your personal needs and challenges.

The goals, topics and length of counseling are up to you, though I will make recommendations based on my training, experience and knowledge. Buddhist oriented counseling generally consists of weekly appointments. The personal issues and goals you are working with may determine how long you choose be in counseling.
