As a therapist, I operate from the framework that our physical, emotional, and mental well-being are in constant communication over time and in our everyday lives. My practice stems from providing insight and support that not only promotes feeling better during therapy, but in everyday life as well. I work with clients (17+) who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, illness, and adjustments in their life. In addition to utilizing a mind-body approach to therapy, much of my work stems from training in CBT, DBT, ACT and mindfulness.

How do I stop the negative chatter in my head? We often experience negative self-deprecating thoughts that have a huge impact on the way we feel and behave. These thoughts make us feel sad, lonely, angry, or anxious, leading to wrong choices or impacting our relationships with the people we love. Navigating through these thoughts and feelings is very difficult. However, you can learn to positively restructure the way you think of the world and yourself. Your life experience is unique and you have the opportunity and capacity to live your best life.

My clients come to me with a myriad of issues that have been impacting their quality of life and functioning. Many struggle with everyday issues of stress related conditions, including trauma related issues, and other depressed and anxious moods causing them to feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, and with panic attacks. These overwhelming intense emotions cause a disruption in their lives, making it difficult to achieve day to day life functions, and make simple decisions about how to move forward in their lives. These patterns of intrusive thoughts and emotions is what leads them to therapy, and where I am able to help them.

As a doctoral-level psychologist practicing in Florida for over 20 years, my approach to helping clients make lasting improvements in their lives includes providing hope for change, research-based techniques and practical problem-solving skills. Specific and customized treatment goals are developed collaboratively, beginning in the first session. Why choose a psychologist rather than a counselor or therapist? A psychologist's expertise is more in-depth. Additionally, an important aspect of a great therapeutic relationship is the fit with your provider, feeling safe, hopeful, respected, and motivated to take the steps to grow.

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.
