What is Mindfulness?
Jon Kabat-Zinn has described it as: “… paying attention in a particular way; On purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally.” Mindfulness can be cultivated through practice and intention. It has been known to be helpful in managing anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.
Benefits of mindfulness practice:
- Support recovery from trauma
- Increase concentration and attention
- Reduce anxiety & stress
- Increase empathy and improve relationships
- Learn self-management, relaxation, and acceptance
Mindfulness is a very useful tool in psychotherapy and life. I integrate mindfulness into therapy with clients to increase life satisfaction and aid in the recovery of trauma and relationship ruptures. Whether you are curious about mindfulness, have dabbled in meditation, or are seeking community with your mindfulness practice, I’m here to support your journey.
