Waitlist for new clients
I employ several therapeutic counseling techniques such as Short Term, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive and Trauma Based Behavioral, Person Centered, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness approaches.
After twenty years of practice, I continue to find that people are best served by a counselor who is emotionally and psychologically available to them in a time of need. I have enjoyed strong effectiveness working with depression, relationship conflict, grief, and anger management. I work with couples, older adults, teens, and children. These experiences have inspired me to incorporate multiple approaches that fit the personalities, interests and needs that people bring to my practice.

I utilize a mind-body approach and specialize in mindfulness, focused attention techniques, and hypnosis, which are known to be very effective for stress-management, sleep difficulties and emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression.
With individuals, I focus on how stress and emotional reactivity manifest as bodily symptoms such as disordered sleep, attention deficits, mood/anxiety disorders, or relationship difficulties. In couples therapy, I utilize concepts of differentiation and comfort/growth cycle, and teach partners to learn to manage their own reactivity and anxieties.

You are the author of your story—don’t let anyone else hold the pen. Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, or the weight of past trauma? Maybe you're struggling with a major life transition, feeling lost, or longing for a sense of stability.

You want to feel grounded, confident, and in control of your life—but right now, it all feels uncertain.

As a registered yoga teacher I often bring in tools such as breathwork, movement, and mindfulness for nervous system regulation.
Accepting new clients! The therapeutic process is a healing process. Healing takes place both internally and within the context of relationship. We constantly shift and change day to day, week to week, year to year. Changes can be going from sleeping to waking, from changing our routines, or outdated patterning. Changes can come in the form of a new baby, a new marriage, a new job; and they can also be divorce, death, health issues, or a sudden move. Inherent in every change is a level of questioning, worry, and concern either internal or external. I do believe change is a wonderfully empowering catalyst to growth and healing.

I use evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Meditation, and Art Therapy.
Do you want to start prioritizing your well-being? Do you feel the debilitating stigma of addiction in your family? Understanding patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving allows us to make intentional changes. Therapy can give you the tools to modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and guide you to resilience. I am also passionate about working with family members who feel powerless, and heartbroken while their loved one battles addiction. The effects on the family are profound. I provide a non-judgmental place to process those feelings.

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.
