Living during a time when we encounter unique struggles, the aftermath of a worldwide pandemic, and social media comparison, feelings of anxiety and depression can often leave us feeling stuck. However, when we take away the outside noise, return to our roots, and look closely at the beauty of nature around us, we can see evidence of hope. After all, even in the darkest and roughest soils, seeds can bloom into beauty. You, too, can heal, no matter your circumstances.

For over ten years I have been helping people learn better ways to cope and work through feelings of anxiety, frustration and even numbness. My goal is not only to help people reduce these overwhelming feelings but also improve the important relationships in their lives. I feel that it is an important part of the healing process to help individuals communicate more effectively with the people in their lives. Through being better able to express themselves, my clients' stress and feelings of isolation are reduced and their self-empowerment and self-confidence grow.

I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), motivational interviewing, CBT and mindfulness.
Hi! I am a trauma-informed EMDR therapist in Vernon. My private practice, Sun and Moon Counseling LLC, is now open and I am accepting referrals. I work with adults who are looking to process childhood trauma, explore complex family dynamics and rebuild their sense of self. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. When trauma occurs, our brain does not properly process traumatic memories, leading to distress and other symptoms that may impair aspects of our lives. The goal of EMDR is to reprocess traumatic memories using our brain's natural healing process so the memories become less distressing.

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.
