Gestalt incorporates evidence-based approaches (Mindfulness, Polyvagal, guided imagery & co-regulation) so you can tell your truth without fear/shame.
After 27 years of working in the mental health field, in 3 different countries, I have an appreciation for the fact that life rarely goes according to plan. Perhaps you’re struggling with feeling anxious, depressed, or unfulfilled with some part of your life, or you find yourself longing for deeper, more meaningful relationships. Have you lived through traumatic events (whether recent or long ago) that have changed you in ways you don’t understand, caused you to react unpredictably...made you feel like a stranger to yourself, & you’re struggling to cope? I believe in meeting you where you're at, with compassion, & without judgment.

During therapy sessions, I draw from my training in adaptive information processing (EMDR), person-centered counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to meet my client’s needs.
Connecting with a therapist can feel intimidating: opening up to anyone can make us feel vulnerable, especially when the things we feel we need to talk about most are also the most painful. Choosing a counselor with experience can help make this process easier. In my more than 20 years experience as a therapist, I’ve found that allowing clients to test the waters, and build a rapport with me is important before diving into painful experiences. During this initial phase, we’ll identify strategies to help reduce symptoms. Some clients feel this is all they need; others choose to further explore their potential for growth.

I believe that every client is unique; therefore, I try to tailor my counseling approach to meet the needs of each individual with a focus on cognitive behavioral, person-centered, strengths-based, and mindfulness-based approaches.
We are all on a journey in life, and every part is just a piece of the bigger puzzle. We all encounter good times, bad times, challenges, learning moments, and more that help shape us into the human beings we are today. I desire to create a safe and welcoming environment where every individual can discover the pieces of their own puzzle. Everyone deserves a chance to be heard and allowed to grow and mature as a whole person (mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually).

Being a teen girl is tough! Raising a teen girl can be even tougher. Anxiety, depression, identity issues, peer relations, academic stress, and outside pressures can leave teen girls needing increased support just as many are beginning to pull away from their parents to develop their own passions and purpose. Parents often find themselves feeling like an outsider as their teen daughters suddenly begin to turn to peers, friends, and social media for advice and guidance instead of mom or dad. This can lead to increased family conflict as parents and teens struggle to communicate with each other and find common ground.

Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder can be overwhelming. There is substantial overlap with anxiety, depression, and difficulty adjusting to an ever-changing life. Many individuals are also challenged with behavioral and sensory issues that are difficult to manage, often resulting in conflicts with family members, coworkers, and classmates. These challenges can quickly grow into a life that feels unmanageable and unhappy. When life gets hard, a little help goes a long way. The chaos and stress can impact all areas of life. But it doesn't have to. You don't have to go it alone.

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.
