Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Monteagle, TN
We all seek safety, health and happiness in our lives, sometimes supported by, and other times challenged by, our life experiences, relationships and larger environment.

Update: I am currently on maternity leave until mid-December! - I am passionate about providing a safe and welcoming space for people to receive support and heal. I care deeply about meeting clients where they are and tailoring sessions to their specific needs. In my work with clients, I strive to create a space in which we can become curious about patterns that are no longer working, and how they might have developed in the first place. I help people develop more effective ways of coping, and I support them in changing the ways they relate to themselves and others.

I draw from traditional therapeutic modalities, as well as somatic and mindfulness based practices to best help individuals align and integrate their minds, bodies, and spirits.
Part of the reason I was drawn to this profession is because therapy has been an invaluable tool in my own life. Being a human is hard work and none of us get it out of it unscathed. I believe that we could all benefit from having an opportunity and a space to put words to our fears, doubts, emotions, and beliefs and to help us gain clarity on what is serving us and what is holding us back.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by chronic stress, burnout, or trauma, particularly as a neurodivergent or highly sensitive individual, you’re not alone. I began my therapy career as an in-home intervention therapist, working with families affected by chronic stress and trauma. This experience highlighted how neurodivergent and highly-sensitive individuals often face additional challenges due to lack of support and accommodations. These unseen struggles can carry into adulthood, leaving you feeling burnt-out. Coping skills that once helped may no longer be effective, and the weight of daily life can feel overwhelming.

Do you want to feel whole, healthy, and empowered to live a meaningful and positive life? I believe that is something we all strive for and want for our lives, but life's roadblocks can present challenges that impede our growth and cause us to doubt ourselves. It is important to move forward in life with self-compassion and the feeling of empowerment to manage life successfully when things get difficult.

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.
