A Mindful Path to Well-Being
The Journey to Emotional Well-Being
Deep, lasting change begins when we move beyond simply managing symptoms and start exploring what it means to truly thrive. For over four decades, my work has been centered on a single, vital goal: helping individuals, couples, and families dissolve the roadblocks to their happiness and rediscover their natural capacity for joy.
My Approach: Mindful Psychology
I believe that psychological health is inseparable from our sense of meaning and connection. To support this, I pioneered a "wellness model" known as Mindful Psychology. This holistic approach integrates several key disciplines to provide a comprehensive path to healing:
- Western & Eastern Psychology: Blending modern clinical traditions with timeless Eastern philosophical wisdom.
- Affective Neuroscience: Utilizing the latest research on how the brain processes and regulates emotions.
- Spirituality & Consciousness: Bridging the gap between psychological health and a deeper sense of purpose.
My focus is to help you move through stress and anxiety to access a state of presence, compassion, and resilience.
Professional Foundation
While my approach is heart-centered, it is built on a rigorous professional foundation. I am a licensed clinical psychologist, LCSW, and MFT with a journey that began at the University of California, Berkeley, and continued through a PhD in Clinical Psychology.
Throughout my career, I have been honored to serve in several leadership and educational roles:
- Founder & President: I lead the Academy of Mindful Psychology, where I develop specialized training for therapists and wellness practitioners worldwide.
- Academic Leadership: I previously served as the President and CEO of a professional psychology graduate school, guiding its transition into a national university system.
- Author: I shared my findings on human transformation in the bestselling book, Emotional Well-Being: Embracing the Gift of Life.
A Commitment to Growth
I believe we are not defined by our struggles, but by our capacity to grow through them. In our work together, I strive to create a transformative space where old patterns can be understood and new, healthier ways of being can emerge. By bringing mindfulness to our emotional lives, we unlock the potential for a life that is not just manageable, but truly vibrant.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
My mindfulness-based therapy sessions help clients develop a more mindful and compassionate relationship with themselves and others. I utilize mindfulness-based techniques to help clients reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and cultivate greater self-awareness and acceptance.
