I use a holistic combination of trauma-informed
mindfulness
, attachment, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and experiential somatic awareness to help you build resilience and self-compassion and learn to work with yourself so that you can show up in your life like you've always wanted to.
I get it- you feel frantic, helpless panic in relationships. You fixate on what your partner is doing or thinking. And you often feel desperate for connection with them. And you’re ready to stop. You are a high-achieving, successful, capable person in the rest of your life; so why are you like this in relationships? It’s not your fault. No one taught you how to be your best self in these intimate, meaningful relationships. This was my lived experience, too. In fact, I still struggle with some of this patterning and residue. But I know that there is relief for you ahead.

We all encounter major stress and loss and often we recover well on our own. Sometimes life becomes overwhelming, confusing and too big to process alone. You can reach out for support, and you don’t have to do it alone. Through therapy, you have the power to focus on what helps you learn and grow. I am passionate about helping clients connect to their core values in therapy. We'll use
mindfulness

By employing a variety of evidence-based modalities and
mindfulness
practices, my supportive approach encourages lasting change.
You're exhausted from riding the restrict/binge roller coaster, obsessing about food, or hating your body. Each new lifestyle change, 30-day reset, and juice cleanse leaves you feeling more defeated than the last. Your negative thoughts and anxiety keep you from thoroughly enjoying life. You want to stop fighting and make peace with your body. Research suggests that looking at your thought patterns is a great place to start if you are interested in making changes in your life.

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.
