Using Cognitive Therapy and
mindfulness
based practices, I believe that therapy allows a person to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a nonjudgmental way and to be able to live in the moment with acceptance.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have 20 years experience assisting clients in becoming more aware of their experiences, helping them to face challenges of the past and the present, and helping improve relationships, and enabling those to learn how to live their best lives. In my experience, past struggles and experiences tend to shape and mold how we see our present as well as our future. Negative thoughts and feelings about those experiences often lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, stress, and an overall lack of confidence.

We'll use tools and techniques primarily based in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and
mindfulness
to improve your experience of a fulfilling life.
Your life is filtered through the lens of your mental world. Your mind is a beautiful and wonderful thing. Sometimes (often) a multitude of factors impact your mind's structure and can create patterns that are unhelpful to the life you want to live. But there's hope! Through personal connection and scientific observations, we have found tools, techniques and gained a better understanding of how to overcome the issues that bother us most. I became a therapist only after I experienced the incredible healing power of therapy for myself.

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.
