My approach is holistic integrating mindfulness, humor, and compassion.
Feeling stuck? Wondering how you got to where you are in life? Relationship issues? Overwhelmed? Sad? Wanting to make a change but don't know where to begin? These are often the concerns my clients bring into therapy. Through our work together, we find the way forward; no issue is too big or too small. Counseling can help and contrary to popular belief, it can be fun and healing at the same time!

I enjoy incorporating therapeutic techniques informed by Parts Work, Feminist Theory, Mindfulness-to-Meaning theory, and Minority Stress impacts.
Individuals of all gender, sexual, and racial identities are welcome at my practice! I believe in the importance of providing a safe and affirming space for individuals to feel curious about and explore themselves, their experiences, and their relationships. I also hope to encourage folks to feel curious about what they are currently holding onto that no longer serves them. I always hope to act as a fellow traveler with folks on their journeys to find and create meaning. I also believe in the importance of empowerment and a positive therapeutic relationship.

Sometimes we can wonder how we became so lost, where our joy went and if we can ever get it back. It can, at times, be a difficult and lonely road to navigate the way back to feeling whole again. I find value in working with mindfulness. kinesthetics and somatic based practices to help my clients move through life transitions, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, grief, or stressful times in their life. We all need to begin somewhere. Learning to trust, to listen & feel what the body wants you to know, can be the key to healing.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who wish for some kind of change in their lives. Common therapeutic goals for the people I work with include, a desire for increased closeness with family and friends, the ability to experience feelings more clearly, a stronger sense of self-worth, and more effective communication within families. People often wish to develop the ability to tolerate individual and collective pain, without doing themselves and each other harm. Most are seeking compassion and understanding. My commitment is to offering that compassion, and to supporting people in achieving their own understanding.

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.
