I offer individual counseling. Being human means that life is going to be difficult sometimes. We may need to explore different avenues for change. Current struggles may be due to a major life transition like a job loss, becoming a parent, a death in the family, or a new relationship, or they may be due to current unhealthy dynamics in existing relationships. Sometimes unresolved trauma is at play. Sometimes we just get "stuck in a rut" and can't seem to make any positive changes that would enable us to go in a different direction. Depression and anxiety can be our body's way of telling us that it is time for change.

It's like you're constantly battling to keep up with daily routines while juggling inattention, compulsions, and overwhelming worry. This has made school or work feel nearly impossible and put a strain on your relationships. Managing your emotions has been especially challenging, often leading to increased stress and depression. You sense it in your body and in your innermost thoughts. It’s been an uphill battle trying to handle all of this on your own. It's hard to know where to start, and you feel stuck.

No one ever told you parenting would be this hard. You love your child, yet the constant battle to keep them content and squash their tantrums feels like an energy drain from which you can’t recoup. You’ve tried everything-redirecting, timeouts, and positive redirection, only to find you are losing your temper more than you care to admit because nothing works. You are in a never-ending cycle of chaos. You realize your stomach turns every time the phone rings in case the school calls again to report another incident. You wish you could just escape, but you can’t tell anyone because you fear you’ll be judged for being a bad parent.

You’ve spent years working harder, performing better, and aiming higher, only to be met with disappointment and a pervasive sense of emptiness inside. You’ve struggled to find your life purpose with no answer in sight. It’s as if you’re trapped in a never-ending cycle of hopelessness and despair. The frustration and confusion from the lack of clarity have made you feel emotionally bankrupt and have made success feel even more distant. The harder you try to overcome these feelings by setting new goals, the less clear things become. This only perpetuates the cycle of despair and worsens your sense of hopelessness.

Your heart is aching. The past few months have felt like one crushing defeat after another, but this recent loss has taken the pain to a whole new level. The depths of it are becoming deeper and more concerning than you ever imagined. You try so hard to be that "glass-half-full" kind of thinker, but your mind just doesn't seem capable. It just stays parked in defeat, no matter how often you try to talk yourself out of it. Will life ever feel normal or happy again? You now understand grief in ways you never wish you did, yet have no idea what to do now that you are here.

I love being a counselor and a teacher. I like helping people figure out what they want from their life and how to make the changes and tap into the resources to make that happen. To learn how to create balance in every area. One of my favorite expressions is people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. The reason I became a counselor is to help make a difference one person at a time.

My counseling style blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with strategies for mindfulness and neurowellness to help clients revisit their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in more adaptive ways.
My clinical philosophy can be captured by the following words… It’s not just in your head, it’s in your brain. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that much of the ongoing emotional and psychological distress we carry throughout life is rooted in traumatic underpinnings, which directly affects the central nervous system. In helping clients understand the neurological reasons behind their distress, and integrating techniques to support rewiring for well-being, individuals become more empowered and confident to creatively assume control for how they want to live their lives.

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.
