I am genuinely interested in guiding my clients to cultivate a greater degree of resilience to life's inevitable challenges. Among other things, I teach clients to utilize mindfulness practices to calibrate their moods, alter their attitudes, develop greater mental flexibility, and improve overall happiness and well being. This approach works as a positive foundation for most issues that bring clients to my counseling office: counteracting depression or anxiety, accepting grief and loss, parenting, improving significant relationships, addressing post-partum mood disorders, and dealing with the challenges of life in general.

My therapeutic training is in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment theory, mindfulness, expressive and narrative therapy, internal family systems, anti-oppression theory, dream work, traditional healing, and liberation psychology.
I offer land-based therapy. This work entails an embodied experience of healing through a collaboration with nature and myself. I believe wholeheartedly that our wellness is interwoven with the health of our environment and remembering we are also nature. My office is outdoors, on land being stewarded to enhance the prairie ecosystem and support sustainable food practices. A typical session will include mindfulness practices to regulate the nervous system, activity that supports a relationship not just with self, but also connecting to land, typically through gardening and other land stewarding practices.

Drawing from insight, mindfulness and skill-based frameworks, I will guide you toward a greater sense of freedom, self-confidence,.
In the words of Thoreau, "Go confidently . . . live the life you've imagined." Do you often wish you were more confident, less anxious, no longer feeling depressed -- or stuck?

With over 30 years experience, I am committed to the highest standards in comprehensive mental health care. I work with individuals and couples to help heal depression, relieve anxiety, reduce stress, improve relationships, process grief and loss, and navigate painful or challenging life transitions.

I use behavioral modification, mindfulness, body awareness, and visualization to help them discover their underlying narratives and address generational and personal trauma.
I work with clients who are ready for transformative work. My focus is to guide each client/s towards building a sense of competency, resourcefulness and helping them recognize that they hold the key to their own healing. I will explore current behaviors and life situations with clients and help them figure out which ones are inhibiting progress, which ones are serving them, and which are ready to be evolved into something else. I also like to look at the past, and family of origin to find what the patterns are that are ready to be broken and how to move forward in an empowered way. I help clients bring to life their next self.

An avid student of several therapeutic modalities and thought leaders in mental health, I integrate a variety of tools and perspectives including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, depth psychology, mindfulness- and somatic-based therapies, existential and attachment theories.
I enjoy working with adults exploring relationships, family of origin concerns, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress (and growth), grief and loss, and transitions. Each client may seek therapy for different reasons, often because something in their lives has become uncomfortable, unhealthy, unsustainable, intolerable – but each client is so much more than their problem. I've worked with everyone from high school dropouts to combat veterans to long term care residents, and everyone in between ... In every one I see another facet of the best of what it means to be human, and I love to show up and see what we learn together.

My vision is to foster, in those I serve, power to originate and assert a legacy with integrity, mindfulness, and authenticity.
Suffering the impacts of trauma, being entangled in a web of codependency, or sinking into stagnating depression, can cause marked distress and dysfunction in our daily lives. Sometimes our own attempts at self-medicating can further complicate matters. If we have experienced a significant loss, it may be hard to even imagine an end to the pain and it may be rather difficult to trust in any process of change. Fear and shame can often prevent us from reaching out, convincing us this is an unyielding fate.

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.
