Through mindfulness we bring quiet presence to grasping and rejecting habits.
If you are feeling down, coping with an overwhelming life change, or seeking more out of life and relationships, we can help. Accepting you right where you are with compassion and mindful presence are the cornerstone of our practice. Creating space for you to be, just as you are, problems, guilt, shame, disappointment and all, can be very healing. Once you feel heard and accepted, you can start opening to the guidance of your emotions, identifying blocks to joy, healing and recovery. This creates the space for goal setting and planning.

My work integrates mindfulness and somatic therapy, including Hakomi, to help uncover—and transform—the unconscious patterns shaping your life.

I help people come home—to their bodies, breath, and the quiet knowing already within. Not by solving, but by slowing down.

I often use a blend of mindfulness base CBT (getting present and shifting thoughts, feelings, actions), somatic therapy (mind-body work and nervous system regulation), and EMDR (reprocessing adverse experiences to change long standing patterns).
No matter what you do, it never feels like the right move. You've worked hard, sacrificed, and poured energy into creating a beautiful life, but still haven’t found the peace or joy you seek. The more stressed you feel, the harder you push—trying to accomplish more or take care of those around you. You may be thinking, “I just want to feel like myself again.” You long to relax, tap into your creativity, deepen relationships, and enjoy life. You don’t have to keep pushing. You can heal, set boundaries, pursue your goals with ease, and build a life centered on joy. I want to help you build that life.

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.
