Hello, I am an EMDRIA certified therapist, LCSW, BCD, and MBA with training in psychoanalysis. You may be a professional, quietly exhausted by the cost of keeping it together — or a younger adult navigating the pressure of figuring out who you are and where you belong in the world. Perhaps you're carrying anxiety, depression or trauma that no longer feels manageable alone. Many clients have tried therapy before but never found the foundational shift they were seeking. They come feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, and ready for something deeper than coping. What they share is a desire for clarity, resilience, and real change

Meditation and mindfulness are core components of my life.
Break free from the mental and behavioral patterns that underly the various reasons that we seek help in counseling. We are often alerted to these painful patterns through our relationships, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, or scrolling. Once underlying processes and patterns begin to change, we naturally begin experiencing and responding to problems and pain differently. It can become effortless and automatic. Acceptance & happiness become our new habit. I have diligently practiced for 17 years to develop skills to facilitate this change.

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.
