Counselor Owned & Operated
Since 2004
A Bellevue, Washington practice specialized in addressing organizational difficulties, personal stress, trauma, PTSD, substance abuse and relational problems.
Jon Kabat-Zinn in his book Full Catastrophe Living discusses the cultivation of mindfulness as a "transformative and healing process" that leads to getting one's life back. Young, older, and in between, "we all have vast interior resources deep within us, innate to us as human beings. When we tap into these resources, such as our lifelong capacities for learning, for growing, for healing, and for transforming ourselves, we come to realize we are bigger than who we think we are."
Learning to pay attention on purpose, in the present moment, without judgment leads to an embodied awareness of these resources we may have been only vaguely aware of and ultimately leads us from suffering to finding meaning in pain and healing ourselves.
