I use a psychodynamic, person-centered framework, and incorporate CBT and mindfulness skills.
Taking the steps towards meaningful and lasting change is no easy feat and it takes courage to start/restart the therapy process. Congrats on getting started; I’m happy you’re here. I work with individual adults who struggle with anxiety, life changes/transitions, and relationship problems, as well as more complex issues like mood disorders, personality disorders, and trauma histories. I believe that having a successful treatment outcome starts with providing you with a safe, trusting, confidential therapist-client relationship.

Intentionally looking for the potential in the perceived problem and the possibilities for growth and change, I utilize techniques and interventions from my extensive training in Play Therapy, Filial Play Therapy, Animal Assisted Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Emotional Freedom Techniques and/or Social Thinking to meet treatment goals.
My purpose and passion is working with children and their families. I approach counseling from a child-centered, mindful, and play-based approach. My belief is that we learn best when we are having fun, when people are curious about our worldviews, and when we are presented with developmentally appropriate treatments and strategies. Central to my approach is that we are all given challenges in life as a way to grow and develop into our best selves. Many of us are doing the best we can with what we know. Counseling can help us all do better.

Life can sometimes take hold of us and we feel like we have lost our grasp, I work to help those get a better hold on things again. My focus is on helping you find ways to heal and feel whole again.

“I love my therapist, but we’ve hit a plateau,” potential clients often say when reaching out to me. Or they’re tired of being treated like they’re broken. If you’ve spent years in therapy and are ready to go deeper and experience profound shifts and lasting change, try mindfulness-based, somatic (body-mind) psychotherapy and inner parts work. In short time, most new clients say, “Wow, that was very different from what I expected!”—in a positive way. If you’re a highly sensitive person (HSP), empath, or old soul yearning to be truly understood and are ready to process more deeply and talk and analyze less, welcome!

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.
