I have a background in Lifespan Integration, Mindfulness for Self Compassion, and spiritual companionship.
If you are someone in a difficult transition, feeling stuck, overwhelmed or hopeless, then you are in good company. Maybe you are able to function well in your life and hold it all together, but sense that if you keep going without getting help you will eventually reach a crisis point. With the right guidance you can release old patterns of behavior, belief systems and stories. Soft Landings seeks to provide a space for you to feel safe, to experience acceptance without judgment and to find healing, growth and transformation.

I am an AEDP therapist (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) I deeply appreciate the non-pathologizing, emotion-focused, neurological, client-centered, attachment-based, interpersonal emphasis and spiritually grounded nature of AEDP I am also trained in and utilize EMDR, art therapy, authentic movement, mindfulness-based stress reduction, EFT, etc.
No matter how straight & smooth we try to make it, life is, by nature a crooked line & a bumpy road! Depression, anxiety, grief, trauma...all by-products of living life. Fortunately, we are hard-wired for health; drawn to people & situations that foster our transformance. However, we develop coping/protective mechanisms that hinder that innate tendency to thrive. We create stories about ourselves & the world that keep us scared & isolated. Therapy is the sacred and confidential space in which these, up until now, forbidden feelings, self-thoughts, memories can be carefully, sensitively and intentionally brought forth into the light.

Because I am mindfulness trained, compassion and awareness are core to my work.
Finding a therapist who respects us is crucial. Having another person who understands us is a basic human need. At times what we do and think do not create a happy life. We may feel isolated, focus on the "negative" and find ourselves feeling wretched. We may turn to substance use or other behaviors to cope with discomfort. You and I will discuss your unique situation, what your behaviors and thoughts may be doing for you, and how they may be hindering your sense of wellbeing. We'll explore how to achieve comfort, acceptance and happiness. I look forward to nurturing your confidence, your strength and your wisdom.

Good therapy is meant to help you create a life worth living. Sadly most people are held psychologically hostage by defenses created in an unremembered past. Reactions that once protected us became core beliefs of which we are basically unaware. But these automatic responses can be untangled, understood, losses grieved, and vexing relationships laid to rest. Once we can release the inner child's need to defend or vilify our parents or abusers, we can see them as whole persons, good, bad and indifferent. Trauma is a fundamental part of life here on Earth, but there is nothing from which you can't recover.

I am trained in both EMDR and clinical hypnotherapy, which provide me with excellent tools to help you to discover the deeper meanings of the issues you are currently dealing with. These modalities enable my clients to see the bigger picture and are excellent tools for releasing trauma, desensitizing old pain and triggers and envisioning a new future. Real and lasting change can only happen when you heal the wound at its source, which can sometimes be deep inside the unconscious mind.

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.
