Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or compulsive behaviors can feel overwhelming—like they’ve taken over and won’t let go.

Therapy should be effective and tailored to you—with an expert provider who is warm, collaborative, and truly invested in your care.

We’ll use ACT-based mindfulness to identify what’s getting in your way.
If you are an adult with ADHD, things like staying organized, sticking to a plan, finishing tasks, meeting deadlines, and remembering where you left your keys can feel difficult. The anxiety of falling short and feeling behind can eat away at your time and confidence, leading to frustration, discouragement, and overwhelm. But you’ve come this far, and in spite of the challenges (and sometimes loneliness) of having a brain that works differently, so much more is possible, at work, at home, and in your relationships.

Feeling stuck or reactive in old patterns? I've been there and I see you. I believe in the transformative power of compassion and self-awareness and the peace that comes with a calm nervous system. My non-pathologizing approach is rooted in the understanding that every individual comes with their own unique set of past experiences and I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space of present attention where one’s feelings and truths are valid.

Do you spiral down rabbit holes of anxious thoughts? Do you worry about all of the “what ifs?” and uncertainties in life? Do you feel it would be your fault if something terrible happens, so you have to try to prevent it? Life is inherently full of stressors. The way our minds are hardwired often results in painful emotions, such as anxiety, sadness, embarrassment, or guilt. Like quicksand, the more we fight these thoughts and emotions, the worse it gets. But there’s hope. We can change our relationship with painful thoughts and emotions so they don’t prevent us from living our lives to the fullest.

Through my life and work experience, I learned to view my work through the lens of anti-oppression: I acknowledge the impact that systemic, cultural, and societal expectations have on our daily existence and sense of self. We all carry with us a unique set of intersecting identities, which, taken together, influence our life experiences and shape our worldview. I believe that the foundation of mental health exists in the exploration of these identities and the radical acceptance of our whole selves.

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.
