My approach integrates evidence-based therapy with body-based and mindfulness practices, to support deeper processing and more lasting change.
I also incorporate somatic and nervous system–based practices such as breathwork, mindfulness, bilateral or binaural sound techniques, and gentle movement. I work from the understanding that the body holds memory and that breath, movement, and sensation can help regulate the nervous system and reach places that language alone sometimes cannot.

My approach is informed by the following approaches within a culturally appropriate lens: psychodynamic, attachment theory, CBT, mindfulness and ACT, emotion-focused, existential, and family systems.
I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to engage in self-reflection at some moment in their lives, whether they are transitioning through a phase or struggling with the daily stressors of everyday life that impact well-being. I envision therapy as a collaborative process between therapist and client in which individuals, through guidance and introspection, can reach the best versions of themselves and develop meaningful relationships, self-fulfillment, and mastery over past and present challenges. I hold a multicultural lens with all clients I encounter and recognize the impact of race, ethnicity, and social context.

My approach is person-centered and strengths-based, blending relational therapy, CBT and DBT tools, mindfulness, and somatic awareness.
You are the one who holds everything together. Capable, dependable, thoughtful. Yet inside, you feel stretched thin. Maybe you are navigating postpartum changes and barely recognize yourself. Maybe the mental load never shuts off and partner support feels uneven. You find yourself overstimulated, resentful, or emotionally drained, then questioning why you cannot just handle it better. You want boundaries without guilt. You want clarity instead of constant overwhelm. You want to feel steady in your body, confident in your voice, and connected to yourself again instead of disappearing into everyone else’s needs.

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.
