Integrative Approaches to Emotional Health & Life Satisfaction
It can be frustrating to be doing well in some ways but also be stuck with troublesome mental habits and negative reactions to life’s challenges. Problems of health, relationships, work and security can overwhelm our usual ways of handling adversity, bringing anxiety and loss of hope. A new approach is needed.
Three streams of experience contribute to my approach:
- As a neuroscientist, I have a deep understanding of the neural systems that underly our emotional, physical and relational well-being, and how they can undergo plasticity.
- As a mindfulness practitioner with over 40 years of experience, I show how to use these methods to disrupt habitual patterns, orient to a fresh experience of the present, and access the natural warmth and clarity of mind. Small dose mindfulness can easily be part of your day.
- As a psychotherapist, I combine all this experience with the latest in cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, body-centered and relational methods: an integrative approach to treatment.
