Tools like mindfulness practices offer immediate help.
Managing one's life and dealing with transitions takes on a whole new meaning in times like these, but can still be effectively accomplished. My diverse practice (teens, adults, professionals, students) allows me to work with varied backgrounds, cultures & education levels. I have had success with treating with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship & family issues through behavioral changes, insight, re-gaining perspective (especially now) & goal adjustments. A strong and effective partnership between therapist and client is still important. I also believe that humor can be a handy secret weapon can be useful.

You can expect elements of mindfulness to assist in finding immediate relief and trauma/grief processing to support your ongoing life goals.
Does your heart beat too fast at unexpected times? Is there a whirlwind of emotion that you can't quite grasp? Does it feel like your struggling to survive? Many of us have been taught to "keep on" no matter what adversity we've experienced and often without the help we need. Are you attempting to navigate a world that doesn't make sense or align with your values? Are you caring for everyone else before you can get to your own needs? These experiences can cause anxiety, depression, irritability and even justified anger. I can help you process your experience(s), cope with your sadness, and find healing from trauma. Joy is possible.

I use EMDR, storytelling, community, connection to land, mindfulness, and the arts as vehicles for healing.
The reasons people don't seek therapy are complex. For many, therapy exists within the very systems that have harmed them, yet practices (& therapists) often ignore these truths when they ask individuals to “take charge” of and “own responsibility” for the distress and trauma in their lives without that broader understanding, or worse, from a place of privilege or toxic positivity. My ideal client is ready to engage deeply and authentically. My approach is empathetic and meets that authenticity with accountability, radical honesty, and a commitment to the work of healing.

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.
