Kids working with me learn to be aware of their own emotions, to notice and unstick from unhelpful thoughts and to employ adaptive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and other self-soothing skills to help themselves remain grounded in difficult situations rather than getting swept away by worry or big emotions.
Child Anxiety, Phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can show up in big ways and leave families spiraling. Being a parent of two myself I get that we can’t always prevent our kids from struggling, but we can give them the skills to thrive in the face of life's challenges. With skill building through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), I help kids and parents develop a toolbox of evidenced based strategies to face their fears and courageously take back their lives from anxiety and OCD.

My specialties are Grief/Loss and Divorce. I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, and Client centered techniques. If indicated, I like to have your sessions take place in nature. My life has taken me from experience, to study, and now to the service of others who are suffering as a result of Grief/loss and/or divorce. You may not believe it now, but these life traumas can act as a force that helps you awaken into a more conscious and self actualized human being.

My thinking is informed by current research into neurobiology, attachment theory and mindfulness, which all offer the promise of how we can change our brains.
I believe passionately that we can change and that genuine lasting transformation needs to happen at the level of our thinking, our feelings and our behaviors. Through my training in psychotherapy, art therapy and mindfulness I seek to actively give understanding, tools and resources to help you reach your goals. I offer a safe, nurturing and non judgmental environment. I also propose a unique at home service.

CBT, mindfulness, somatic and trauma release protocols are my specialties.
You're too hard on yourself. Others tell you this and you've thought "it's just how I am." And now you've found yourself caring more for others than yourself and still your inner voice is negative and critical - which causes low mood & motivation, isolation, anxiety, relationship distress, trauma triggering & coping habits that actually worsen things. I would like to introduce you to the kind coach inside yourself. In 15 years of practice it's clear to me: the barriers to healing and happiness are linked to our inner voice. Changing from critical to kind, changes everything. Let's help you uncover and love your best self!

I practice Mindfulness and Somatic based Cognitive Therapy to help treat Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Relationship, and life's woes. Together we will understand what causes your suffering and create change. Our traumas, difficult relationships, COVID, loss, and heartache, can all be confusing and debilitating and influence us to live patterns of suffering through our behaviors, beliefs, habitual thinking and life circumstances. By discovering and practicing new behaviors you will learn how to relate to your thoughts, emotions, and body in a manner that allows you to live the life that you want to be living.

Integrated evidenced-based treatment, clinical homework, mindfulness, & in-depth relational analysis, maximize benefits.
We've all been there, disoriented by one of life's unexpected challenges, wishing for clarity...& maybe hiding from a bit of truth as well. Research shows we are out of connection 66% of the time; learning better tools for managing conflict is key. We'll use the Gottman Method to re-architect communication strategies that remove barriers to relational success, so clients access deep, meaningful gains, yet unrealized in relationships, ...or perhaps lost along the way. Wherever you are on your relationship journey, these skills optimize relational protections & potential.

I have a clinical background in areas such as: depth psychology, EMDR, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, guided imagery, attachment theory and affective neuroscience.
Taking the first step to find a therapist already suggests that you are motivated and hopeful that things can get better. And they can.

I can offer you a safe place where even the most confusing and difficult issues can be met with understanding and insight. I offer all of my clients a calm presence, filled with warmth and compassion.

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.
