With adults, I utilize Person-Centered, CBT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused strategies.
You matter and I’m happy you’re here. As a therapist, I will foster a safe and non-judgmental space where you can express yourself authentically. My role is to assist you in identifying and transforming your suffering into awareness and autonomy through a collaborative relationship. I view all humans as fellow travelers and it is an honor to share in another’s journey towards their best self. I see clients ages 7 to adult. My counseling approach is tailored to the client’s unique experiences and needs. With children, I utilize both a Child-Centered approach, as well as more directive techniques.

I have an extensive background integrating mindfulness-based practices with traditional talk therapy.
Have you found yourself feeling just plain stuck? Are you curious about building a deeper sense of self awareness, perhaps an ability to connect more thoughtfully in your relationships? Life can get busy and it's easy for self care and the care of our relationships to fall by the wayside. Our work together may look like processing past trauma, exploring dysfunctional patterns or navigating life transitions. Clients I work with can benefit not only from gaining understanding as to why they get stuck in unproductive patterns but also by identifying tangible ways they can practice healthier alternatives moving forward.

Hi, this is Art, I've been working in the mental health field for 28 years and as a licensed counselor since 2007. Have you ever had a problem or issue that you are concerned about? We all have. So, what do we do? We first try talking to our relatives or close friends. They are usually helpful and caring but they have their own thoughts about what we should do. It may involve another relative or friend whom they also know. Our issue may be very private and even embarrassing to speak about to someone we know. Counseling changed my life, please give it a try!

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.
