I’m driven by psychodynamic, existential, and
mindfulness
-based modalities, with a robust background in social justice, creative arts, and nervous-system informed interventions — we can collaborate on the best fit for you.
When we feel othered, alone, or hopeless — it's challenging to ask for help. Talking to a therapist can help you feel like yourself again. I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world. Together, we create a space that feels warm, safe, and healing — and ultimately restores a sense of joy, play, and hope. We’ll learn to be curious about emotional patterns, how to communicate effectively, and develop tools to slow down when life inevitably gets overwhelming.

I use a primarily collaborative and psychodynamic approach, incorporating other therapeutic styles as needed, such as CBT,
mindfulness
, and Internal Family Systems, in a way that will continue to drive our work forward.
Many people often experience similar life events and stressors, but, while the event itself is objective, your interpretation of that event is subjective. It is those interpretations that lead to your story, a story that has shaped who you are today. However, stories can always be revised; you have the power to change your self-perception with a change in narrative. That is where therapy comes in. I believe that a crucial part of understanding your vantage point is taking the time to learn the nuances.

Using

It’s getting physically and mentally harder to make it day-to-day. The amount of energy you spend managing your food, managing your impulses, managing your negative body image is unsustainable. It’s exhausting! Some days, finding something that you can tolerate wearing is virtually impossible. You end up with a crumpled pile of clothing on your bed – a mound of misery that will have to be dealt with when you get home tonight. Still, you can’t stop. But you really want to.

I incorporate psychodynamic, attachment-based,

Many of us spend a long time running away from the true essence of ourselves. We abandon ourselves to be accepted by others or praised by a society that wants a specific version of us. This ultimately leads us with pain that we find various ways to numb. Together, we can explore, feel, and heal this pain.

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.
