I’m certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (for PTSD/trauma) trained in DBT, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, and Internal Family Systems (parts work).
It takes courage to be radically honest and through self awareness lies the path to healing. I create a safe and non judgmental space so you can explore past trauma, grief and loss, anxiety stressors, and negative thought patterns. You may already be aware of self defeating behaviors but unable to stop or change. I will guide you through useful techniques you will be able to use for the rest of your life and I will gently push you to step out of your comfort zone each session.

I am Qualified to teach Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction by the University of Massachusetts Medical School Center for Mindfulness .
The choice to seek professional help is a courageous decision. Everyone has events in their lives with which they have to cope. Sometimes the coping techniques a person has used in the past don't work well anymore and they need help finding new ways to deal with those events. Or maybe it is some new change with which they have to deal. My clients and I work together to understand the changes and to develop adaptive coping skills needed to survive the events in their lives.

Integrating mind-body interventions with traditional talk therapy includes techniques such as mindfulness /meditation practices, Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive therapies, self-compassion, parts work/inner child work, & psychedelic-assisted therapy (in progress).
From the outside, you look like you have it all figured out, but inside you feel unsatisfied and highly critical of yourself & others. You find it difficult to fully relax because your mind wanders toward the endless list of things you “should” be doing. You often get caught up in thoughts comparing yourself to others. You may be struggling to feel fulfilled in your relationship with others, and more importantly, yourself. You’re driven, successful, & high-achieving. Everything feels great when things go as planned, but when things go awry, self-doubt creeps in and can show up as feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, & burnout.

We live in a society that has made vulnerability seen as weakness, ironically, it is what allows us to be human and make connections. Do you feel a struggle in making connections? Do you struggle with overwhelming feelings of pain, anger, anxiety or depression, and feel like these are what define you? Do you feel like no one will ever understand, like you are detached from the world? Have you been through a traumatic experience, that robs you of freedom? Is motivation the issue, are you fatigued from attempts at change, but never having a guiding light?

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.
