Most of the patients I currently see have complex trauma, unresolved childhood or early life events. I also have lots of experience working with people through depression, anxiety or other general life stressors. Healing is difficult and starting therapy can be hard. Taking that first step is a step in the right direction.

I believe meaningful change happens within safe, supportive relationships. Being truly heard and understood can profoundly impact a person’s sense of identity, resilience, and hope. Counseling is more than a career path for me—it is a commitment to walking alongside individuals during vulnerable and transformative moments in their lives.
I am especially drawn to working with children, adolescents, and families. I understand that behavior is often a form of communication, particularly for young people who may lack the language to express complex emotions.

To better grasp what is bringing you into session, my anti-oppressive perspective is influenced by systems, and feminist theory.

Sometimes life gets to a point where pushing through just isn't enough anymore. Many of us are taught to keep moving, stay busy, put our heads down, and deal with things on our own. We tell ourselves we'll get over it, it'll pass, or we just need to be stronger. Maybe that worked for a while, but now the stress, anxiety, trauma, or weight you've been carrying is affecting your relationships, your work, or the person you want to be. Therapy isn't about fixing you; it's about helping you understand what's getting in the way so you can move forward with confidence. You don't have to white-knuckle life anymore. Let's work through it.

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.
