I integrate a variety of evidence-based approaches, including mindfulness, polyvagal theory, DBT, acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion-focused therapy, CBT, sand tray, and art therapy.
Welcome! I am dedicated to helping adolescents and adults navigate life’s challenges; I enjoy working with various people and the complexities they face, from anxiety, depression, bereavement, suicide ideation, and trauma, to name a few. At times life can be overwhelming, and day-to-day issues can become unmanageable. It takes insight and courage to face adversities and seek help. I respect and understand the importance of earning trust and providing a nonjudgmental atmosphere where individuals can identify barriers, accomplish goals, and bring balance and peace into their lives.

I also use Motivational Interviewing, CBT, DBT, Psycho-education, Mindfulness, and other psychotherapy models.
I believe each person possesses individual strengths that can help them achieve the goals and objectives they want to accomplish when they seek counseling. My job is not about judging, it is to help people identify those strengths and learn how to use them to the best of their ability. It is also my responsibility to offer tools to help clients in the areas where they need them. I truly love what I do! It is such a joy to work with people one-on-one in helping them discover great things they never knew about themselves, and to watch them grow as they heal from the difficulties we all may encounter.

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.
