Because talk therapy does not always access the emotional wounding and other deep places of the psyche and heart that words cannot express, I incorporate a variety of multi-sensory, body/breath, mindfulness-based, and creative methods in sessions.
Life is often a series of difficult challenges and painful struggles. It can be hard to make sense of it all, let go and truly heal. Still, trauma, chronic pain/illness, mood issues, loss or other difficult problems do NOT need to define you or your life. I have a passion to help young adults, women, single moms, military families, and others who've been impacted by the tough stuff life has to offer. Using a holistic, strengths-based approach that integrates wellness practices, with trauma informed modalities I can help facilitate the healing process, and provide an opportunity for you to become the best version of yourself!

At times, however, we find ourselves stuck in the breakage. Unable to find the bend. Paused in the darkness and depth.

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.
