I often use EMDR, Parts work, and mindfulness to address trauma
Many of the people I work with come to therapy carrying the weight of trauma—whether from a specific event, difficult relationships, or years of navigating chronic stress. I’m a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish) who values creating a space where clients feel understood and supported. This often shows up as anxiety, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. It can feel even more complicated during life transitions like pregnancy, postpartum, or navigating identity, especially for BIPOC clients who may also be managing the effects of systemic and generational trauma.

I use a trauma informed approach and teach mindfulness based techniques while exploring what brought you to therapy.
You feel lonely, like nobody really knows you. You go through the motions, just getting through the day. You're putting on an act, worried what your loved ones would think if they knew the real you. You try to be perfect and hide how flawed you really are. You try to remember when this feeling started but it seems to go too far back. You notice yourself feeling on edge when you are with others, yet just as unsettled when you are alone. You want desperately to be able to open up but the walls built around you have become an isolated room. You wonder what it would be like to break free and be the real you. The only way out is through.

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.
