I also believe that
mindfulness
plays a significant part in reducing stress and making positive changes.
In life, we all have times where we think to ourselves in a moment of struggle, "I don't know what to do." Working through these experiences can be confusing, stressful and even sometimes debilitating. As a clinician, my goal is to help you figure out how these life stressors can become more manageable. Through my experiences as a social work professional the last decade, I have worked with many individuals and areas of practice. My specialties include anxiety, depression,
mindfulness
techniques, self-esteem, adults with traumatic brain injuries, behavior modification for individuals 10+, and young adults with Autism.

My experience includes crisis intervention,
mindfulness
, behavioral interventions, substance use treatment/prevention, and individual/ family/& group counseling.
It takes courage to talk about the things that are heavy. We all deserve a nonjudgmental and safe space to speak freely. Together, we can explore, challenge, and navigate the habits, relationships, communication strategies, and coping skills that may or may not be serving you. As a licensed master social worker, I aim to support you in identifying the strengths you have always had, while empowering change to allow for personal growth. I believe that a healthy and positive therapeutic relationship is a catalyst to successful treatment. I approach each client differently, as there is no “one size fits all” for therapy.

What do you think of therapy? Does it intimidate you? In your thoughts, do you think the therapist is an out of touch, stodgy, judgmental person prying into sensitive topics or boring you with monotone lectures? Could therapy actually be fun? Or something you look forward to? What if therapy didn’t have to be scary or always serious but a time you set aside for yourself which you actually enjoy?

As a contemplative psychotherapist, I work to help my clients find balance by teaching
mindfulness
practice to aid in emotional regulation which is often the cause of anxiety and depression; deconstructing and integrating trauma; identifying often unconscious patterns which contribute to cyclic suffering; teaching skills to replace harmful coping behavior.
The foundation of my work as a therapist is the knowledge that attunement in a therapeutic relationship helps people make lasting positive changes in their lives. We are all entitled to happiness, and to live with meaning and purpose. I work with my clients in partnership as we define personal strengths, and rediscover their authentic self. My clients are people who have struggled with a myriad of challenges. My philosophy is that these challenges do not define who you are. I do not treat depression or anxiety. I work with people who struggle with relational patterns that result in depression and anxiety, and want to change.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
For clients with chronic pain, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, and other health issues such as anxiety and depression, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, or MBCT, is a two-part therapy that aims to reduce stress, manage pain, and embrace the freedom to respond to situations by choice. MCBT blends two disciplines--cognitive therapy and mindfulness. Mindfulness helps by reflecting on moments and thoughts without passing judgment. MBCT clients pay close attention to their feelings to reach an objective mindset, thus viewing and combating life's unpleasant occurrences.
