mindfulness
and communication training that will give you specific strategies to help you take what you learn in session and apply these tools in your day-to-day life. Please note: I only offer online therapy.

I love helping people make changes in their lives. Change can be very challenging whether it is a change you have to make or one that you choose such as leaving a relationship, changing jobs or moving. Although difficult, making changes can be very liberating and satisfying. You may be forced to go beyond your comfort zone and face difficult challenges on the way to changing your life but you will be stronger and wiser at the end. I will be there to support you as you change and grow and become a better, happier and healthier you.

If you are interested in developing
mindfulness
around what is getting in the way of a life worth living or maintenance of effective behaviors you've cultivated, let's connect!.
Have a hard time understanding or expressing your emotions? Feeling uncomfortable, shame, or judgements in relationships? Experiencing a major life change? We experience things daily that can dramatically impact our sense of connection to ourselves and others. Therapy can be supportive, validating, and empowering. When we can learn about our emotions, identify behavioral patterns that are decreasing the quality of our life, and step into radical personal responsibility, we have more choice to create the life and relationships we want.

My training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy,
mindfulness
, DBT, transpersonal and psychoanalytic studies provides a framework allowing for depth, structure and flow in our work together.
Curiosity, openness, and a belief that we all have the ability to grow, become more aligned, and be at peace with ourselves are some of my guiding values. I use an integrative approach founded on an understanding that we meet where you are and a process unfolds from there. With training in somatic and relational therapies, I incorporate body-oriented interventions when desired. Working in this way can make room for deeper connections with self and others.

I invite you to more fully be yourself. My approach to therapy assumes that you are motivated to look at changing one or all of these: how you feel, how you think, or how you act. The self-discovery that's part of therapy comes when we gradually become more aware of how we think, how we feel, how we act. If you find yourself with a general sense of dissatisfaction (with yourself or the world), feel apathetic or fearful of what's next, or find yourself making the same mistakes over and over, my approach combining
mindfulness
, body awareness, deep listening (to your story) and creative problem-solving will be useful to you.

I work from
mindfulness
based, compassionate, trauma informed perspective with the belief that the answers are within you.
Overcoming challenges in life is a normal process that we all work through on occasion. Perhaps you are experiencing challenges in work, raising children, school, relationships, loss, or social interactions that seem overwhelming, confusing, and frustrating. Maybe you have experienced negative or traumatic events in your life that have resulted in feelings of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or self-defeating behavior. Our beliefs, feelings and behaviors in life are based on both genetic components (what nature provides) and life experiences (from the womb to the present). Sometimes nature and nurture combine to cause us to have thoughts and beliefs that do not work to our benefit.

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.
