If you choose an appointment with me at Dewa Spa, we will investigate together how to implement the wisdom of Buddhist psychology into your life. “Waking up” as the Buddha invited us to do allows us to quickly, in one or two appointments, investigate which road to take, or how to understand a problem from a more integrated and often healing position. Shifting our viewpoint to a more realistic one allows us to reorder priorities and integrate wisdom in our decision making if we find ourselves at a crossroad.
In contrast to traditional psychotherapy, where we often examine what went wrong and who was to blame, we will explore the opportunities of your precious human life and how to align moral priorities with future goals and passions.
This process may take 1-2 appointments. You can submit any invoices for out-of-network reimbursement through your health insurance.

Just past the barn, garden and labyrinth there is a row pine trees right before the driveway to the Spa. Turn right and follow the driveway to the top where there is a small parking lot. The swimming pool is located outside of the Spa. The fitness facility is located in the lower level of the Conference Center down the road from the Spa. Please allow yourself ample time to arrive for your appointment. It usually takes longer to arrive here than what the GPS says.
