Utilizing mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, I strive to empower the client with positive coping skills and increased self-awareness.
My goal is to help you strengthen the relationship with yourself, so you can create the life you want. By becoming the observer of your inner mental world, you can gain insight and understanding of beliefs, thoughts, and feelings that create discomfort in your life. Through the therapeutic process, you can learn coping skills for navigating intense feelings, like anger or anxiety, so they do not control your behavior. You can identify boundaries you might need and rewrite disempowering narratives that lead to anxiety, sadness, or conflict with others.

I integrate mindfulness and practical coping skills to manage stress and emotions.
Anxiety, depression, hurt from relationships, and current stressors can make day-to-day life feel like quicksand. You're unable to move forward to the life and freedom you want no matter how hard you try. You may feel confused and overwhelmed, not knowing what will help or where to start. Or maybe you have some ideas of what needs to change, but can't understand why you can't make it happen. Sometimes all we need are the right tools and someone who listens with caring and empathy to help us really move forward in a lasting way.

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.
