Mindful Solutions Counseling and Educational Consulting

Mindful Solutions Counseling and Educational Consulting Providing individual, couples and family counseling. I also provide educational consultation to families based upon my experience in the school setting.

Every day life presents us with challenges. It is easy to look for an immediate solution or completely give in to our doubts about our ability to make positive change in our lives. Solutions without mindful thinking can at times encourage us to feel there is no hope, keeping us stuck in old behavior patterns and routines. Let me assist on the journey of exploring the possibilities in your present

situation. Using an integrative approach, my goal is to help you to discover your INNER STRENGTH, RESOURCES, and RESOURCEFULNESS that currently resides within inside of you. Every individual has value and worth. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand your assets, the larger system of which you are a part, and resources within yourself and the community. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will discover strengths that can assist you in altering current behaviors and lifestyles that no longer work for you or your family. Today you are one step closer on the journey toward solutions that are designed intentionally for you. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. Please call or email me for an individual, couples, parenting, family therapy or educational consultation today. Treatment specialization includes:

Love is love - and when you love someone, you accept them for who they are, and believe in building a world where love and support come without conditions, because each person is inherently worthy.

Take time to process the pattern and rhythm of your thoughts. It's like observing a waterfall.

05/31/2026

We can observe the process and patterns of our thoughts when we step back. When people pay attention to their thoughts rather than becoming absorbed in them, they often notice that thoughts are not completely random.
Like this waterfall, thoughts have a unified pattern if we listen, observe and take the time to process them.

Krista Tippett: One of the things that I’ve heard you say across the years, and I think have never taken it in so gratefully, and it has never been so helpful before — the healing is in the return, not in not getting lost in the beginning. But that’s such a relief. That is such a liberation.

Sharon Salzberg: Well, I think it’s powerful because I actually think it’s true. When I started meditation, like most of us, I had a different idea of success [laughs] and what it would look like and that it would be very much about accumulation, like if I could be with two breaths in the beginning, without my mind wandering, then surely, by today, I should be with eight. And then, tomorrow, I should be with 15. And then, eventually, my mind won’t wander. And I found that the most unbelievable thing — that that wasn’t the point, that learning how to let go more gracefully was the point. Learning how to start over with some compassion for yourself, instead of judging yourself so harshly — that was the point. And it’s so funny, because really, it was like Lesson 101, for me, and it’s probably —

Krista Tippett: Well, it’s a Lesson 101 in life, too, right?

Sharon Salzberg: And it’s the most precious thing. I use it every day. [laughs] It’s still the most significant thing I’ve ever learned from meditation and that I use it every single day, because we do. We have to start over and do a course correction, or pick ourselves up if we’ve fallen down, every day.
