Anxiety, depression, and career or life stress can create overwhelming feelings of self-doubt, exhaustion, and frustration.

You may feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, burnout, or emotional distress, unsure of how to break free. But with the right support, it’s possible to shift these patterns and regain a sense of clarity and control.

Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing, I tailor each session to your needs and goals.
Many sensitive individuals carry the weight of trauma, grief, or early abuse in ways that linger quietly, shaping how they experience relationships, navigate change, or respond to stress. These deep wounds can surface unexpectedly, often feeling like they overshadow everything else. My goal is to help clients recognize these patterns, explore their origins, and reclaim agency in their lives. I especially connect with those quiet yet powerful "a ha" moments—when things begin to click and life starts to feel more possible.

My therapeutic interventions include mindfulness practices and I have specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brain Spotting.
I believe that the first step to healing and growth is in our admission that we need help. Asking for help is not always easy when trust may have been violated or when society tells us to be strong and hold it together when the storms of life occur. When this happens, we tend to feel alone in our emotional pain and suffering, thinking and believing that no one understands what we are going through. We all need a safe place to uncoil, work through our difficulties and feel good about ourselves and our relationships with others.

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.
