Mindfulness Approaches
While there are a number of different approaches therapists use to help people manage mental health challenges, I enjoy teaching Mindfulness strategies. I’ve personally used all that I teach and have seen the positive effects on clients who use these interventions to cope with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thought patterns. While there’s bound to be some unknowns whenever you’re pursuing something new, learning and using mindfulness offers you an array of skills to better manage unhelpful thinking habits and embracing change.
Body and mind are connected! Relaxing the mind and the body is a path to improved mental health. You'll find that applying mindfulness skills allows for less mind wandering and more present moment awarenes, leading to increased happiness.

In addition to learning about the benefits of Mindfulness, you can anticipate therapy offering you a safe, non-judgmental place for you to be helped in identifying and sorting through how different painful experiences have affected you. You can then be supported in working through and resolving these painful experiences so that the effects of the experiences won’t interfere with your current relationships, passions, and goals.
