I also utilize mindfulness, CBT, REBT, and solution-focused therapy.
Hello there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in trauma, veteran, and first-responder issues. I served six years as a combat medic in the US Army and was deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan. As a medic, it was my job to preserve life, and seeing my joes taking their lives due to the helplessness and hopelessness they were experiencing drove me into the mental health field. I now work with folks from various backgrounds (especially veterans and first responders) to help them regain their value of life.

Changing your relationship with your inner critic and anxiety is not always simple. Not everyone feels as if they have the tools to move into a more positive space with how you manage anxiety, stress, and life changes. Maybe you feel as if you want to talk to yourself with more kindness, compassion, and intention yet the relationship you have with yourself keeps creating mental roadblocks. I assist with empowering others to manage their anxiety and develop healthy relationships with themselves. My practice is based in diversity, awareness, and inclusion for all. I welcome all clients of sexual orientations and gender identities.

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.
