I also use an integration of Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness.
Would you or others describe your lifestyle as "unconventional"? Are you someone of one or more marginalized identities seeking an affirming space to grow? Do you find yourself worrying excessively or immobilized by fear? Maybe life feels stagnant, and you are looking for more "sparkle." Perhaps you are navigating substance use concerns or having difficulty with setting and maintaining personal boundaries. If you are on the path of exploring yourself and creating a life characterized by self-authenticity, I am here to accompany you on that journey.

With my clients, I use Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavior Therapy, mindfulness therapy techniques, and education.
Are you the kind of person who feels like they never have a peaceful moment? Your mind races from one anxious thought to the next. You’ve never quite understood this about yourself before, but you are now putting the pieces together. The experiences of your childhood (or your past) always left you wondering. What difficult thing would happen next? To cope, you tried to anticipate (the anxious thoughts!) what would happen next to keep yourself out of the “line of fire.” But you are an adult now, and you want to reclaim your peace. You know that you have more control over deciding how your life will go.

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.
