Mindfulness changed me.
Do you spend time worrying about the future or rehashing the past? Is it hard to stop your mind from racing? Conversely, is it hard to get moving? Are you aware of how stress impacts the body? Do you feel out of balance in your eating, sleeping, exercise, substance use, technology or relationships? If you are looking for more ease and well being now, in this moment, you may thrive with mindfulness informed treatment. Mindful tools help us live life to the fullest, without judgment, in the only place we are truly alive, the present moment. It's more about discovering what's right with you, than wrong. It's simple, but not easy.

A seasoned therapist, I draw upon my extensive post graduate training in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, group therapy, trauma-informed therapy, 12-step, harm reduction and other recovery models, attachment-based theory, mindfulness, SE and Gottman’s evidence-based approach to couples therapy.
At times we find ourselves at a difficult crossroad, uncertain how to grow and change in the face of our distress. With 35 years in private practice, my goal is to help individuals and couples find a path to unknot conflicts and develop more resilient and expansive modes of living. Many of the people I work with are embroiled in addictive behaviors such as alcohol and substance misuse, gambling, sex addiction and pornography. Others struggle with painful traumatic personal histories, chronic and acute illnesses, grief and loss. And still others are mired in destructive relationship patterns that undermine the quality of their lives.

I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges through self-awareness, mindfulness, and working through stressors rather than avoiding them.
Feeling stuck due to anxiety and depression can leave us feeling exhausted, frustrated, and often leads to isolation. While seeking therapy might seem daunting, it can be a powerful step towards creating a more meaningful life.

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.
