I love the therapeutic process because there is nothing more beautiful and exciting than to experience the evolutionary transformation that can happen within a therapeutic relationship.Life can present us with many challenges that we might not be able to assimilate or make sense of at the particular time.This lack of assimilation can cause an imbalance in our lives and in our relationships.The therapeutic process may help you integrate and bounce back to the full, rich life that you deserve. Some of us have not learned yet how to best develop healthy emotional relationships. We need to acquire different perspectives by learning new skills and disposing of old ones that might stand in the way of wholeness and integration. By making use of different treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Depth Psychology, Hypnosis and life experiences I gently guide you through the process towards emotional health and wellbeing.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
