I utilize various methodologies such as Cognitive Behavioral, Family Systems, Task Centered, Mindfulness and Solution Focused Therapy.
I enjoy working with adults of all ages in individual counseling. I can help you find your way through depression, anxiety, illness, disability, loss, grief and trauma. Counseling will help with any adjustment. Change is difficult whether it is living on your own for the first time, relocating to a new area, making a career move, getting married, getting divorced or retiring. The physical and mental health changes that occur with aging are particularly challenging. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance and want you to feel safe to share and explore your life.

I am a Neurofeedback Specialist, Mindfulness trained, Internal Family Systems expert and my major is in PTSD/trauma.
My "ideal client" knows to provide loved ones the very best, he or she must also be at an individual best. Short-changing the "self" depletes the ability to offer abundance to others. Whereas prospering in heart, health, mind, and body lead to connections of premium value. My clients look beyond the ordinary, knowing possibilities are endless and will be found with concerted effort and bravery. Keeping life fresh, free and filled with potential, elevates us all. When my clients depart they have renewed joy and gratitude because they are awakened to the gifts that were once just beyond their reach but now part their life scripts.

Additionally, for clients who are interested, I have 30+ years experience instructing mindfulness/meditation practice.
Life is constantly changing & pressing on us, leading to stress, and calling for our growth. Rather than looking for acceptance or healing from others, it's important to look inward. This understanding of who we are & how we operate eases stress & peaceful life transitions. Science verifies that changing our thinking, feeling & behaviors improves the quality of our life. I specialize in connecting people deeply with themselves, decreasing suffering from anxiety, depression, family/relational conflict, grief, chronic pain, panic attacks, low self-esteem and work/school burdens.

Accepting New Clients. On the outside, it looks like you have it all together. But on the inside. Whew! It feels like a dumpster fire. If overthinking were an Olympic sport, you'd be a repeat gold medalist with endorsements. You wonder, "When did this happen? When did I become a supporting actor in my life?" Somehow, you're on the sidelines, watching everyone else living their best life with a list of excuses of why you can't do the same. All while you feel stuck, disconnected, and exhausted from overthinking. As you take care of everyone and everything on your to-do list, you begin to notice one line item missing - YOU.

I believe that the core of effective therapy is in our relationship. Without that relationship, it is difficult for true progress and healing to occur. It is very important to me that we can work together to help you live your best life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and my style is unique. I understand that the fast paced life we all live in is not always conducive to spending lots of time in therapy. Therefore, I like to equip every person who comes into my office with the skills, confidence and competence to tackle whatever life throws your way.

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.
