I have training in psychoanalytic and cognitive-behavioral treatment, including dialectical therapy, that builds on a foundation of (primarily Soto Zen) Buddhist thought, meditation and mindfulness practice of over 40 years.
No matter how fortunate you may be, still human life is difficult. Despite your best efforts, at times life's stresses can be too much: you may be overwhelmed. Hurt, fear, guilt, anger, shame, grief: feeling bad can alert you to where the trouble lies, or add to your emotional burdens. Confusion, isolation, loneliness, restlessness, worry, despair, or addictive attempts to find relief - all of these painful states are attempts to ward off problems or fix what's wrong, but they can also make things worse.

Applying a cognitive behavioral (CBT) approach, I work with clients to help them better understand and resolve the specific barriers that are keeping them from leading healthier, happier lives. I believe that a strong rapport between therapist and client is the most essential ingredient to a successful therapy experience. As such, I work to foster a safe, nonjudgmental, compassionate space where change is made and goals are reached.

I use science and compassion to provide cognitive, dialectical, and mindfulness -based behavior therapies exclusively through a secure telehealth platform.
It can be a deeply painful realization to notice that we are not living the life we want - one that is guided by a strong sense of values and that fills us with joy, passion, and vitality. We all have an intuitive wisdom that is meant to guide us through life. This wisdom can get lost in the loud voice of emotion, the dismissive voice of logic, and the pressures of our environment. Over time, we might start to feel stuck, lost, and hopeless. When our struggles seem insurmountable, our harsh inner critic grows stronger, and we may start to engage in problematic behaviors to avoid the pain.

Experiencing anxiety, worry, fear or panic attacks related to PTSD, social anxiety, general anxiety, or OCD? I have helped many high functioning people who suddenly find themselves experiencing excessive anxiety by using a combination of CBT and other modern techniques, such as mindfulness and desensitization --- Traumatic experiences, work related stress, difficulty in relationships, health problems, economic insecurity, or major changes in life circumstances can be the cause of anxiety or panic attacks. My approach is collaborative and flexible to help you learn how to manage distress and to make the changes that will increase your satisfaction in life.

I integrate a psychodynamic approach with mindfulness practices and explore your attachments to glean a deeper understanding of who you are and how your relationships impact your experience.
You are the expert in your life and journey. Even when we think we have the best skills, it can sometimes feel like we are losing grasp of key areas in our lives. As those strings begin to unravel, we can feel the impact of complicated interactions with family and loved ones. We might experience a disconnect between our goals and our current station in life. I work with individuals and couples to share their thoughts freely, explore challenges, and develop solutions and coping mechanisms that support overall wellness.

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.
