I integrate talk therapy, mindfulness, yoga-inspired movement, and energy work to support mind-body-spirit healing.
You've done the work..but something in your body still doesn't feel safe,
You’ve done the thinking.
You’ve tried to “push through.”
And still… something in your body won’t settle.
That’s not a failure—it’s your nervous system asking for a different kind of support.
I specialize in helping individuals heal from childhood trauma, PTSD, chronic stress, and emotionally overwhelming experiences—especially when it shows up in the body as anxiety, shutdown, tension, or health challenges.
My approach is not just about talking through your experiences.
It’s about helping you feel safe, regulated, and connected to yourself again.

Despite what your brain is telling you, you don’t have to be perfect all the time. Freedom from anxious thoughts is possible. From the outside it probably looks like you’re “keeping it all together,” but inside you are struggling with intense shame, self-judgement, and sadness. You describe yourself as “Type-A” in a joking way, but the reality is your constant need to be productive, busy, and organized causes you daily suffering. The good news is that you don't have to stay stuck where you are forever.

I draw from evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, tailoring our work to your unique needs and pace.
You’ve always been the one who holds it together. You show up, keep going, and take care of everyone else, even when you're running on empty. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, unsure of who you are lately, or just tired of doing it all without support. If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.
I work with adults navigating stress, self-doubt, life transitions, and the pressure to keep everything together. I specialize in supporting women who are ready to move from just surviving to truly living, but I welcome anyone looking for a space to slow down, reflect

My work focuses on helping clients come to recognize patterns within themselves and then go about the very fulfilling work of changing them from the inside out. Each of us has taken in patterns of belief about the world and how it "works" by our parents, families and others. We accept those patterns as "who we are." Sometimes those beliefs and patterns cause pain to ourselves and others and we find ourselves looking outside ourselves for change in our lives. Inner work is challenging, but it can lead to a deep appreciation and recognition of who we are and our responsibility in our 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.
