Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Baltimore, MD
My approach is relational and trauma-informed, integrating Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and somatic interventions.
You've spent time trying to understand why you feel the way you do, yet still feel stuck. You may be navigating trauma, anxiety, shame, depression, relationship challenges, or a stressful season of life. Therapy can help you build insight into your patterns while also supporting deeper emotional integration so that understanding can be felt and lived differently.
I work with individuals who are ready to move beyond insight alone into lasting change. If your inner critic is loud, perfection feels exhausting, or you feel disconnected from yourself, therapy can be a space for reconnection, self-compassion, and healing.

You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, constant worry, or a heavy sense of sadness that makes everyday life harder than it should be. Your mind may race with overthinking, or you may feel drained, discouraged, and unsure of yourself. Even when things look fine on the outside, inside you may feel stuck or not good enough. Still, part of you hopes things could feel different - that you could find peace, meaning and purpose. You want relief from anxiety or depression—and a chance to feel calmer, more hopeful, and more like yourself again.

I am a huge fan of mindfulness approaches to guide ourselves to stay in the present when it is so easy to dwell on the past or worry about the future.
Raise your hand if you grew up hearing: “We don’t do that in this family/culture,” “Mental health issues are just laziness,” or “You are fine, stop being dramatic.” I can assure that your feelings are valid!

I believe that all achievements, no matter the size, deserve to be celebrated. I tend to use a more casual tone and love incorporating humor into my work, and can become serious when appropriate.

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.
