Philosophy:
I specialize in "When Mindfulness Is Not Enough." Artificially controlling thoughts & feelings may work in the short run, but facing the reasons we act & react inappropriately, determining the causes, & resolving often life-long issues creates a natural state of consciousness. We live w/o suffering & can more fully love & be loved. We are truly "In The Present." It works extremely well with many problems, including OCD, Panic D/O, more thoroughly than ?flooding? techniques... Talk Therapy? Yes!
