I see clients online via a secure portal and I have openings available! I have been practicing for almost 20 years using approaches such as CBT, mindfulness and solution focused therapy.
Our world is a tough place right now. Many of us are struggling with anxiety, stress and depression. It's hard to turn on the tv or look at social media without seeing news that grows more tragic each day. This can impact everything we do- parenting, connecting with our spouses, work, and even day to day living. Anxious thoughts can make it difficult to sleep or concentrate. We can feel disconnected and alone. If you are overwhelmed and you know you need help but you aren't sure where to turn, please know that you don't have to do this alone. Please reach out for a free consult. Telehealth openings available immediately.

Real change happens by means of: growing strengths, ensuring self-care, increasing mindfulness, developing coping skills, healing the past, and living a life you love.
Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of your purpose in life? Are you hurt and unsure if you are ready to move on, but just can’t seem to uncover a new path? Some people just need someone to listen, get their experience, and understand how life is for them. You may have tried the same old things, which don’t seem to be working anymore. It’s often hard to ask for help, and seems a bit strange if you haven't been to therapy before.

I utilize a mixture of CBT, ACT, & DBT interventions while staying rooted in Attachment Theory, Emotionally-focused counseling, & Mindfulness.
As our lives unfold we all pass through hardships. Some transitions are so hard that we are rattled to the core. When our hearts are breaking open, the pain can be so blinding that we can't fathom how we'll possibly survive. We may encounter anxiety, stress & distress that is alarming & fatiguing. You may feel as though you've lost track of yourself and who you are in the world. You may feel completely alone and unknowable to even those that are closest to you. I offer you support by providing undivided attention, tuning in to who you are and the experience you are navigating, and inviting you to practice new skills to help you cope

In addition to CBT, I use mindfulness-based techniques, which are on the cutting edge of today's psychological practice.
Insomnia is a disorder that touches every aspect of a person's life. There's nothing more miserable than struggling to sleep, which seems like it should be so natural and easy. Then, during the day, you wonder why, if you're so tired, is it so hard to sleep at night? It is possible to get sufficient high-quality sleep without the use of medication. Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (CBT-I) has been recommended as the first line of treatment for chronic insomnia, and I have seen it work in clients from age 15 up to 90+.

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.
