Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Glendale, AZ
I see life as a journey we’re all trying to navigate — looking for purpose, meaning, and real connections with others. But sometimes, we get stuck, thrown off course, or feel completely lost. That can come from pain, shame, or tough experiences — whether they’re caused by others or choices we’ve made ourselves. My goal is to walk alongside you as you figure things out — to help you explore who you are, make sense of where you’re headed, and stay true to your values. I’m here to support you in finding purpose and building deeper, healthier relationships — starting with the one you have with yourself.

One of the bravest things you can do is discover the power of your own story. We all encounter challenges that can lead to feelings of overwhelm, stress, depression, anger, or anxiety. These situations can trigger our thoughts and emotions to surface, and then we wonder where all these feelings came from. By exploring our story, we gain insight into our past and clarity about the future we want to create. You begin to understand that you already have the power to change your thoughts and beliefs, design your own path to the future, and shine your light in positive ways for others to see.

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.
