Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in 85016
Together we will work to uncover the details of your story, developing coping strategies through mindfulness, meditation, vision boards and more.
Let's find purpose in the pain that brought you to my profile. We fight so hard to keep anything bad from happening.“If I play the game, it might (or not)work out. If I avoid the issue, it’ll just disappear," it never works, does it? We fear pain& negative consequences so much that we don’t see the blinders we put on our eyes to avoid them. By putting ourselves in the dark we create BIGGER issues. What if instead of avoiding the issue, you paused and shifted? What if you chose to embrace it, get a new perspective? What if you shifted from avoidance to openness, leaning into curiosity? Let me help you find peace & resolution.

Waitlist for new clients
My focused areas of training have been family systems, trauma, childhood/developmental trauma, addiction, codependency, mindfulness/body regulation, & anxiety.
First, I want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I focus on creating an emotionally safe place. Safe enough to be vulnerable and lean into discomfort. Safe enough to create change that may be desired or needed. My style is direct, compassionate, and caring. When appropriate, I use humor, transparency, and my own quirky personality to help create a safe environment and vulnerability. It is the balance of being client-centered (meeting clients where they’re at) and encouraging change (which sometimes includes calling out BS or respectfully challenging when needed). Im currently offering in-person and telehealth.

I integrate EFIT, EMDR, ACT, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing, Jungian, and existential to meet each person's unique history and needs.
Unhealed trauma or other painful childhood or adult experiences may disrupt our ability to connect well with our true self and with others and to achieve our deepest heart's desires. Strategies we needed to protect ourselves at one point in life, may be outworn, leaving us stuck with anxiety, depression, anger, or guilt, interfering with healthy relationships and experiencing joy. For over 20 years I have helped individuals and couples heal old wounds and grow past outworn patterns into greater freedom, joy, and deep connections. I offer myself as a compassionate witness to your pain and companion in your journey of personal growth.

My approach is psychodynamic (your unconscious mind & feelings matter!) and may integrate mindfulness, ACT therapy, boundary work, body-tracking, spiritual beliefs, dreams, or coaching.
Crises and life transitions tend to spotlight where we need to grow. I have two typical clients. One is interested in ongoing psychotherapy and has often (though not necessarily) been in therapy before. The other is looking for shorter-term work to sort through a decision or transition. Depression, anxiety, "stuckness" or "emptiness" often inspire people to call. I work with adults of all backgrounds, but have niche experience with many chronic illnesses, including long COVID, MCAS, EDS and cancer; neurodiversity-affirming work with autism & ADHD; older adults & aging; and healthcare & mental health professionals.

Life can definitely go sideways; I’m here to help you right what’s gone wrong. I’m probably not your typical therapist. I’m a lawyer, a mother and a mid-life divorce survivor. I’m transparent and a little unorthodox at times. You will never wonder if you are sitting with a real person. We will laugh, we may cry, and I won't mind if you drop an f-bomb or two. I will never judge you or presume to know more about you than you know yourself. Your story matters; I want to know how you show up in your life and how your history and experience coalesced to bring you here. I will not waste your time chatting; we have work to do.

When not in clinical practice, I enjoy hiking, running, the practice of mindfulness and travel.
With over 24 years of clinical experience, I am a true believer in the practice of mindfulness and the ability to change through determination, accountability and a willingness to try new methodologies towards an improved state of mind. I received a Bachelor of Science degree with honors in psychology from Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, New Hampshire and graduated with a Master of Social Work degree from San Diego State University. I have had my LCSW with the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners since 2005 and also serves on the Clinical Supervisory Board.

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.
