Throughout our lives, we all have experienced feelings of depression, anxiety, and anger. These emotions leave you feeling insecure, shameful, lonely, unworthy and stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior. Trauma can have negative emotional and physical effects and can lead to family/relationship issues. I specialize in solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness and CBT. These approaches allow me to work with the client to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression and other health/behavioral issues.

I'm a down-to-earth, collaborative, caring, and nonjudgmental therapist, with years of online therapy experience, who uses mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as the basis to best support you in getting back to feeling like yourself.
*VIDEO & PHONE SESSIONS AVAILABLE* Have your session in the comfort of your own home (or backyard, or while you’re on a walk, or …well you get the picture).

Being a therapist is a privilege, and I would be honored to help you through a difficult time in your life.

I believe therapy works best in a welcoming, safe, nonjudgmental, environment where you feel free to talk about the past, present, future, and your experiences in the context of your environment. Everyone deserves their own healing path unique to their wants and needs. As a therapist, I continue to grow and learn new ways of supporting people to reach their goals. I have experience with cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, strength-based approach, systems theory, mindfulness approaches, and child developmental theories.

Mindfulness is the foundation of all that I do in my practice.
We don't have to live a life controlled by our emotional pain, instead we can learn to be in the driver's seat of our own experiences. Learning to be present in our own lives is a lot of what therapy is. Through this we learn about our patterns and feel empowered to do something different. Starting the path of finding a therapist can be so intimidating and vulnerable. It is an act of courage, and making the choice to take control of your story, to be the author instead of the character. I'm so glad you took this step and are here!

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.
