I specialize in teaching people mindfulness skills to help them make changes in their lives – whether it is getting past difficult emotional issues, transitioning through difficult times in their lives, or people wanting help making changes to their health habits like quitting smoking or losing weight. I provide therapy, coaching, and I also teach classes that are designed to teach people ways to practice mindfulness in their everyday life. My Summer 2014 class series includes Mindful Chocolate Tasting, Mindful Cooking, Mindful Creativity, and Changing Your Relationship With Food. I provide free 15 minute consultations.
