I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, especially in
Mindfulness
techniques.
If life is suffering, as it was said long ago, what is the meaning of both suffering and life? The real secret seems to be that through suffering we transcend suffering. Engaging in our legitimate suffering – manifesting as anxieties and depressions – brings us beyond the narrow egocentric view into a broader compassion and understanding, which is essentially a place of peace. I am not here to heal you but to help guide you to the place of self-healing. I have seen enough of both suffering and self-healing to know whereof I speak. Let's talk about what troubles you and find your unique path to resolution and acceptance.

My experience and interest in yoga therapy guides my belief that each person has the tools within themselves to heal, and I offer
mindfulness
exercises and somatic work as a means of heightening awareness of what the body holds.
Everyone has a story to tell. Although a crisis or life transition is often what leads one to therapy, crisis doesn’t have to be the sole catalyst for change. The drive towards personal growth and the shedding of self-defeating thoughts and behaviors can lead to a fulfilling, authentic life. Counseling is a rich experience that provides the opportunity for self-reflection, and therefore enhanced intimacy in relationships, increased self-awareness, and compassion. I offer my clients warmth, hope, and a direct style that confronts underlying issues that have contributed to pain, including understanding how the past shapes the present.

I believe that the therapy process is a practice of paying attention to what is actually happening - it sounds simple, but this is actually a deeply profound and challenging stance to maintain towards life. The work we do in therapy involves bringing elements of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, how we relate to ourselves and to others, and how we move through the world, from the darkness of the unconscious into the light of consciousness where we can take a look at them. We do not have to struggle and toil in order to implement change in our lives.

We all come to points in life when we realize something needs to change. Whether you are experiencing conflict, anger, depression, stress, or loss, counseling can help. We can't always control what life throws at us, but in counseling we learn to respond in new ways to reduce suffering, increase happiness and improve our health and relationships. Counseling can reduce stress, heal trauma and loss, increase healthy connections and help life feel more managable. If you are ready to make positive changes, I would love to help you.

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.
