“I feel stuck.... Nothing is going to get better... I don’t know why I feel this way... Nobody understands what I'm going through.” How many of these thoughts sound familiar? Sometimes, one of the most difficult things to navigate is how we feel. Life is hard. It’s filled with things that are stressful, overwhelming, painful, and heartbreaking. It can be challenging just to get through the day without crying, losing motivation, isolating, or feeling hopeless. It can be a lot to handle. Figuring out how to change that doesn’t have to be.

You don’t have to keep carrying the weight of the past. Trauma can show up in ways that are hard to explain-feeling on edge, shutting down, overthinking, or reacting in ways that don’t feel like “you.” If you’ve been avoiding it because it feels overwhelming, you’re not alone-and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I specialize in working with adults who have experienced childhood trauma, domestic abuse, or emotionally harmful relationships. I provide trauma-focused therapy and EMDR via telehealth to clients across NJ.

I hear you - life feels like a constant struggle now. But you're here because you know there's more to your life than feeling like a f*ck-up, out of control, or living behind a mask. When there's so much outside noise, misplaced expectations, and uncertainty about your value to the world, it can suck the life right out of you. It doesn't matter how many boxes you check off your list, or how many self-help books you read, things don't click into place. If they do, the change certainly doesn't last.

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.
