I am trained in EMDR and have experience with Mindfulness, CBT, TF-CBT, and TBRI, among others.
Too often we feel like we can't say everything we want to say, or that we said something wrong and there's no fixing it. In therapy, we can figure out what we want, what we want to say, and who we want to be. We can let it all out, make mistakes, and try again until it feels right. The freedom to speak honestly about all the parts of our experience is a key component to recovery. I am here to listen to you without judgment and to support you in understanding yourself, your relationships, your work, and your meaning. When you can coexist peacefully with all the parts of yourself, you may find your options opening up.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness-based interventions, play therapy, and solution-focused strategies.
In today's fast-paced, high-pressure world, it can be all too easy to become overwhelmed by the barrage of everyday demands and specific life challenges. We often find ourselves so focused on meeting the needs and expectations of others that we neglect our own self-care and personal fulfillment. However, prioritizing your well-being is a vital first step towards alleviating these burdens and reclaiming a sense of purpose and joy in your life. Together, we can craft a personalized plan to help you or your child unlock your full potential, cultivate lasting change, and achieve the sense of self-fulfillment you deserve.

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.
