My practice is rooted in mindfulness , Internal Family Systems, neuroscience, Brene Brown's work on shame and vulnerability, & Kristin Neff's work on self-compassion.
Have you been feeling down or worried? Have you noticed being too "stuck in your head" and have a desire to be more present in your daily life? Or perhaps you just don't feel very good about yourself and want to feel more confident. Everybody has times in their lives when things just aren't going the way they'd hoped, and they feel stuck and lost regarding how to get back on track. Some people experience more significant trauma, either as a child or an adult, that negatively impacts them in ways they didn't expect. There is an endless number of reasons why people become disconnected from themselves and decide to seek therapy.

I utilize a combination of trauma informed Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, DBT, Mindfulness , and Solution Focused Therapy to help navigate problem areas.
I believe in the power of human connection to get us through life’s challenges. Reaching out for help in our most vulnerable moments can be difficult and overwhelming. Our self-talk can be so convincing that we should figure things out on our own or that our problems aren’t as bad as they could be, that we remain stuck. I will meet you where you are in your challenge, providing a safe and calming environment to explore avenues to find hope and healing. My work takes a holistic approach integrating the mind, body and spirit connection to help you create a strong foundation to meet those challenges.

My therapeutic lens is rooted in the tenants of social work and social justice. As a clinician I meet clients where they are and recognize that no person functions outside of their environment. So as we delve into issues of mental health symptoms, we will also be investigating how society at large plays a role in our health. I lean heavily on psychodynamic processing and a focused mindfulness practice called Brainspotting. I also engage clients through CBT, DBT, and narrative therapy.

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.
