Mindfulness
Before emotional experience can be explored in relationship, it must first be felt and tolerated. Mindfulness develops this capacity.
Mindfulness, in this practice, is not a productivity tool or a way to escape emotional experience. It is the cultivation of steady, compassionate awareness of what is happening within you—moment by moment.
Through sustained attention to bodily sensation, emotion, thought, and perception, we strengthen the ability to remain present without avoiding, fixing, or judging what arises. We learn to turn towards rather than away.
How I Teach
Mindfulness instruction is collaborative and adapted to your learning style, temperament, and daily life. The goal is not rigid discipline or long retreats, but a sustainable practice that supports emotional presence and real-world engagement.
Private lessons may include:
Foundational sitting meditation instruction
Body-based awareness practices
Working skillfully with anxiety, shame, and difficult emotional states
Integrating mindfulness into daily routines and relationships
Who This Is For
For Individuals Seeking Emotional Depth
If you are engaged in psychotherapy—or considering it—mindfulness can help cultivate greater inner awareness and emotional tolerance. The stronger your capacity to remain with experience, the more fully you can participate in relational therapeutic work.
For Professionals with Demanding Schedules
If your work leaves little room for traditional meditation groups, private instruction can help you establish a practice that fits your schedule and integrates into daily routines. Mindfulness becomes something lived throughout the day, not another obligation.
For Artists and Creative Professionals
Creative work often brings intensity—periods of inspiration, doubt, self-criticism, or avoidance. Mindfulness can support a more sustainable relationship with your creative process by increasing spontaneity, emotional range, and tolerance for uncertainty.
