"The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination" - Carl Rogers. As a therapist, I believe in helping clients find (or rediscover) their direction in living the life that best suits them. I also believe that one of the most important factors in therapy is the goodness of "fit" between therapist and client. Through the therapeutic process, I work towards helping clients learn insights about their life, which in turn help them to make better choices and find more overall satisfaction in their life.

You feel stuck in the same cycle. Stress rises. Conflict grows. Anxiety takes control. The issue sits deeper than motivation. Many people never learned evidence-based skills for regulating their emotional state. Without these skills, impulsive reactions damage trust. Communication breaks down. Boundaries weaken. Counseling builds practical tools so you can regulate emotions, rebuild trust, and communicate with clarity.

You’re stuck in a loop of conflict and disconnection. No matter how much you try to communicate, it feels like you and your partner are on opposite sides of a wall.

If you’re longing for safety, trust, and understanding, therapy can help you both rediscover the bond you’ve been missing.

I work with individuals and couples navigating the impact of attachment wounds and relational trauma. For individuals, this often looks like finding your way back to yourself—especially when anxiety, stress, or past experiences have led to disconnection or overwhelm. For couples, we focus on the patterns that keep you stuck in conflict and help you move toward greater understanding and secure connection. I integrate somatic therapy and parts work so change happens not only through insight, but at a deeper, more embodied level.

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.
