Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Get out of your head and into life!
Are you feeling stressed, stuck or confused?
I get it - you are busy, tired, and overwhelmed. Therapy may seem like just more on your To Do list. Sustainable change requires effort and time - I will not waste either of these precious resources of yours! Together, we will find a reasonable and compassionate way forward. Together, we determine the goals you want to work towards and develop an action-oriented plan to get there. Together, we identify barriers to progress as they occur and creative, realistic ways to move beyond.
Mindfulness is especially well suited for harnessing run-away fight-flight-freeze reaction at the core of anxiety and stress. "Sounds great, but I tried meditating and it doesn't work!" you're thinking. Mindfulness is not just meditation, but about equipping and empowering yourself to not only manage life's challenges, but also discover a life based on personal values, peace, and joy!
My therapeutic approach starts with you.
The essence of therapy is two humans willing to step into the muck and the mystery of life, trusting we have within us all what we need to find our way through and discover our beautiful, talented, unique selves.
What are your current strengths, knowledge, and skills? Building upon your personal experience, we access your inner gifts and talents to address your current challenges. Weaving together science and spirituality, Western and Eastern theory, mind and body, we discover a new path towards sustainable wellbeing.
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness and Transpersonal psychology into a comprehensive holistic approach that leverages the best of evidence-based therapies and experiential practices to draw upon your innate insight and create actionable steps forward into health and wellbeing.

Client Reviews*
"In about 3 weeks I can feel my life changing for the better, all thanks to the guidance from Paul."
Zocdoc
"I would recommend Paul to anyone interested in better understanding themselves and what drives or influences their thinking. Paul listens, takes notes, calls out things that I should hold myself accountable for or should pay attention to, and has continuously advocated for me to take control of my circumstances. He is smart, warm, and a great resource."
