Offered 2 to 3 times per year, the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Groups are modeled after the curriculum developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at Umass. Participants learn to incorporate mindfulness practices into their daily lives though experiential exercises, guided meditations practiced together and at home, & group discussions. By learning to turn towards their lives with a compassionate, non-judging attention, participants learn to embrace the present moment and shift their relationship to the judgments, ruminations, and anxieties that can so often lead to a sense of dissatisfaction and dis-ease in their lives. Please see website for upcoming courses.
Bringing a careful, curious & compassionate attention to ourselves and our present situation is often the first step in any journey of healing or self-discovery. In our work together, I will encourage you to join me in a non-judging, non-blaming attitude of curiosity towards yourself, your past and current experiences and relationships, and whatever comes forward during our meetings together. For me, this curiosity includes elements of deep respect for what is known and not known about what shapes our sense of who we are and what drives our moods and behaviors.

Therapy is about feeling better. It's a learning process. It requires a comfortable atmosphere, conducive to talking and expressing inner feelings. I try to create this environment by offering respect, sensitivity and compassion. I bring enthusiasm, and hope to the therapeutic process, as well as insight and creativity. This, in turn, helps one to develop an understanding of one's self and one's circumstances, and thus, the process of change begins, where one can acquire an ability to tackle whatever the challenge may be.

Are you concerned about your teenager? Do they seem disinterested, easily irritated, angry most (or all) of the time, negative about themself or life in general? Maybe they’re struggling in school, staying in their room more, stressed out, or no longer - even refusing - doing daily tasks or chores. Perhaps they have goals for the future, but just don’t seem to care about them anymore. As their parent, you've tried to talk, but only get shut out, and now things seem like they are getting worse. They need help, and you want to find someone who is objective, understands today's younger generation, and can help get them back on track.
The goals of the group include:
1. Learning to live alone without feeling lonely.
2. Starting life over again as a single person/parent.
3.Learning approaches to use with children while informing them their parents are divorcing.
4.. Managing an ongoing relationship with your ex-partner as co-parents.
5.. Learning to co-parent children without using them as information providers.
6.. Teaching children assertiveness skills to help them avoid being pawns beween their parents.

The group teaches teens and their parent(s) the following DBT skill modules: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and walking the middle path. It has a class-like format with handouts, take-home exercises, and experiential activities, but there is no expectation that group members share information that is uncomfortable. Research has shown that caregivers' involvement makes treatment more effective because caregivers learn to serve as coaches for their children and benefit from learning the skills themselves. Teens must have an individual DBT therapist at the Center for CBT or be a program-approved outside DBT provider.
I am a licensed psychologist and DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician(tm) at the Center for Cognitive Behavior Therapy with expertise in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and trauma.

Anxiety has hijacked your life. You’re really good at imagining the worst case scenario. Your mind is excellent at anticipating the future, and at replaying things that have already happened. You question whether you are good enough and often feel self-conscious. You overthink everything. And your body buys in to this story – heart racing, shallow breathing, your stomach in knots. All of this worry is overwhelming. It impacts almost every aspect of your life. It prevents you from doing what you want to do, from living the way you want to live. Your life is becoming smaller and smaller … AND YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH.
