I integrate cognitive, somatic, mindfulness-based, and attachment-based therapies.
Many of my clients come in feeling stuck, caught in cycles of stress, anxiety, past experiences, or relationship patterns they want to change. They might be used to holding it all together, but inside they often feel overwhelmed, lost, or that they aren't doing enough. My approach is holistic, grounded in warmth, curiosity, and authenticity.
Together, we'll explore what’s beneath these patterns and begin to shift them in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable. I work especially well with clients navigating that feeling of being both “too much” and “not enough.”

THE CHOICE...
One of my clients said that she wished that choosing a therapist was like finding a new puppy. You get a sense of the breeding, temperament and capability and then you know from a heartfelt connection that you have the right one. Here you must decide from an exhaustive list of similar sounding credentials. So what I want to offer is some background and then hopefully you can have the experience she wished for everyone.

I believe every person has talents and a unique purpose in life. Sometimes issues arise that cause distress and unhappiness. Do you awaken feeling ready to take on the day? Do you have a sense of drive, ambition, fulfillment and enjoyment in your life? If you have children, are they happy and reaching their potential? If not, then perhaps the support and guidance of counseling can help you and/or your children. If you are feeling stuck or challenged beyond your own resources, engaging in counseling can help you get back on the right track.

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.
