Our thoughts about what might happen, what did happen, or what should happen often drag us out of the present moment and into feelings of anxiety and sadness. Learning how to "be here now" and appreciate the present can help you feel good again.  

I recently had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Danny Penman who has co-authored a new book on how to stay in the present and cultivate mindfulness in your life, "Mindfulness: Finding Peace In A Frantic World." Listen to my latest podcast, where I interview Dr. Penman, to learn more about the research behind mindfulness, how it can help you, and how you can learn skills and techniques to stay in the present moment.

Listen to her talk about her amazing journey, both literally, as she crossed the US, as well as through the heart of her pain.

I love therapy. I think that the opportunity to have a period of time where you can reflect, and do inner work is absolutely priceless. At the same time I also know that it is a big investment of time and money, and that formal therapy is not always what people need.

My dream has been to take the "Best Of" what I do with clients in therapy, and develop programs that deliver some of the same life-changing benefits of therapy but much more accessibly and affordably than weeks or months of one-one-one counseling with me would be. 

I am so excited to announce that these programs are now available!

Targeting different areas including: Stress, Worry, Depression and Goals, each of these programs walk you through powerful new experiences that will foster growth. You'll learn things new things about yourself, as well as skills for creating positive change in your every day life.
