I specialize in supporting adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, or perinatal trauma to feel like themselves again using EMDR,
mindfulness
& meditation, and other evidence-based approaches.
Is anxiety or experiences from your past making it feel like life is out of control? Maybe you’re caught in a spiral of dread or stress you can’t seem to stop, constantly second-guessing yourself and not knowing how to cope. Or maybe you’re frustrated and exhausted by it all: feeling like you’ve done everything you know to do to get “over” it, but still feeling triggered or on edge all the time. You might be seeing patterns in your relationships that you want to change or wondering what’s going on under the surface that’s causing you to continue to feel this way.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
For clients with chronic pain, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, and other health issues such as anxiety and depression, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, or MBCT, is a two-part therapy that aims to reduce stress, manage pain, and embrace the freedom to respond to situations by choice. MCBT blends two disciplines--cognitive therapy and mindfulness. Mindfulness helps by reflecting on moments and thoughts without passing judgment. MBCT clients pay close attention to their feelings to reach an objective mindset, thus viewing and combating life's unpleasant occurrences.
