I offer Holistic Relational Psychodynamic Therapy for teens and adults, integrating Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed, Mindfulness-Based, CBT, Strength-Oriented, Solution-Focused, and Spiritually-Minded approaches.
Life with ups and down, twists and turns can feel like a rollercoaster. “Who am I? and Why do I think, feel and behave this way?” We often only know ourselves partially, with blind spots that may carry risks. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, intimacy, sex disorders, addictions, or spiritual concerns, these challenges can feel overwhelming. Therapy opens a window into our humanity, uncovers the roots of our issues, and explores new possibilities. It mitigates suffering, builds resilience and wellness, leading to authentic, connected, and liberated living, while addressing the complexities of mind, body, and spirit.

In trainings by well known and respected mindfulness and somatic (body) trauma experts, I've learned how to gently and compassionately guide clients to settle the nervous system and allow for reprocessing the anxious or traumatic response.
With twenty years in private practice, I’ve honed my ability to attune to a person’s unique lens and her lived experience. My passion is women's wellness: I holistically support women in all phases of life to thrive. My special focus is on those faced with infertility, pregnancy loss and birth trauma. Having lived through and healed from those challenges, my connection to women and mothering is intuitive. Drawing upon mindfulness and somatic (body-focused) training, I offer wellness skills for building trauma resilience, practicing mindful self-compassion, and managing the cumulative stress of womanhood and motherhood.

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.
