Combining CBT with a present-focused, mindfulness approach has been very helpful for many clients.
People who seek therapy often are looking for relief from problems that they have not been able to resolve on their own. I help by providing practical solutions to change patterns of behavior or unsatisfying relationships. My approach is to work with clients to understand their experiences and their goals so that we can collaborate in the process of finding new perspectives to facilitate change.

I believe that through talk therapy we can gain insight into the roots of our problematic thoughts and behaviors, but to achieve meaningful change we have to do something, which is why I integrate several modalities including EMDR, sandplay therapy, nutritional coaching, walking sessions, trauma informed chair yoga, and mindfulness meditation.
If you have been impacted by trauma, are experiencing intense emotional reactions, or just in need of extra support through life's transitions, then my goal is to help you feel more balanced, healthy, and present in your daily life. I believe that our minds and bodies are always at work to heal, and with the right tools we can work to facilitate powerful changes. Therapy can help you to gain deeper insight into your behaviors and break out of patterns that don't serve you. Together, we will set clear goals aimed at improving your quality of life and find concrete tools to manage your emotions and relationships.

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.
