Using evidence-based tools like CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, I help clients better understand their emotional patterns, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and build practical coping skills.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to cope with everything on your plate? You may be navigating anxiety, burnout, or major life changes—like becoming a parent, starting a new chapter, or healing from painful past experiences. Perhaps you're juggling it all on the outside, but inside you feel stuck, exhausted, or emotionally drained. You want to feel more grounded, more like yourself, and more confident facing the challenges life throws at you. You want support that’s practical and affirming, not one-size-fits-all. Therapy can be that space.

I utilize a multiculturally sensitive approach, borrowing from ACT, DBT, MBCT, mindfulness, narrative, and solution-focused therapies to develop a collaborative and eclectic style to treatment that is tailored to your needs.
“It’s always best to believe in one’s self, but a little help from others can be a great blessing!” I view each person as the main character in their book of life. Each book contains stories of joy, sadness, exploration, struggle, and most importantly: hope. My goal to assist in exploring these stories, whether you encounter depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, intersectional struggles, or self-esteem issues. I am especially sensitive to those impacted by LGBTQ issues, religious minorities, activists, uniformed public servants, and those experiencing depression.

Some of my favorites combine mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy such as meditation, mindfulness practices, identifying unproductive thought patterns and reshaping them to create new behavioral patterns.
Feeling disconnected from yourself or the life you want to be living? Emotional overwhelm, overthinking, shutting down, people-pleasing, relationship struggles, or even physical symptoms like tension, fatigue, or a sensitive nervous system are often signs that your system is doing its best to protect you—but may be stuck in survival mode. Trauma—whether big or subtle—can pull us away from our sense of safety, clarity, and connection. My work focuses on helping you gently come back into your body, reclaim your inner wisdom, and move toward more ease, alignment, and self-trust.

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.
