I also employ EMDR, mindfulness, cognitive approaches, humor, creativity, body-focused work, breath work, and others -- depending on your needs.
My focus is to help people explore their depression, anxiety, or grief -- to help them better connect emotionally to themselves, and to alleviate the resulting distress and personal problems that get in the way of living satisfying, fulfilling lives. I take an affirming stance toward my clients, and strive to create a warm, supportive environment for exploration of the more painful experiences or trauma that may be interfering with relationships, work, and the ability to be truly happy. My approach is holistic, including physical, emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects.

Waitlist for new clients
Today you woke up feeling alone, disconnected from those you love, and wondering who you are and how your life got to this place. The pain you feel and the crushing weight of fear and anxiety feels like if you concentrate on it one more second, it will consume all that you are. You feel numb, life is no longer enjoyable, and you can't remember the last time you felt alive.

We all go through these times as part of life and work cycles, but there's no need to go through them alone. Sometimes a caring but objective ally can be helpful.

Are you feeling lost or stuck? As is life is passing you by? Bothered by old memories? I work with people everyday who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, identity confusion, relationship problems, or feel like their emotions are out of control. The first call for help might seem intimidating. But, once you make it you'll know you've taken the first step toward feeling better. Growth and change is often difficult and painful, but the pain and fear you're feeling is probably worse. I will provide you with non-judgmental support and careful guidance through this process.

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.
