Using IFS, brainspotting, & mindfulness, I will both teach you skills to help you manage your emotions & help you heal your trauma from deep within so that you can finally forgive yourself, let go, and find peace.
Are you wanting to heal from your past but feeling frozen by hurt and shame? Perhaps you keep trying to change but feel trapped by beliefs that you are not good enough, not loved. You’re trying to be a better partner, parent, and friend, and you keep giving to others, but get nothing in return. You feel alone, exhausted, and both desperate and terrified for someone to actually see you. A part of you wants to give up and shut yourself away, but another part keeps going each day. A part of you knows that there is more to life than this. A part of you has hope that things can be different, that you can be different.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I have extensive training and experience treating a wide range of difficulties, specializing in the treatment of anxiety, addictions, chronic health issues, grief/bereavement, and shame-based symptoms.

I will share my knowledge of mindfulness, yoga psychology, breathwork and movement, and integrative medicine for mental health to empower you to make sustainable changes and live your most fulfilling life.
I know that you have a "pretty good" life. Perhaps you have done some work in therapy before, and things are finally stable. Yet, you sometimes feel like you are playing a part, rather than embracing and expressing your authentic self. You may feel uncomfortable in your own skin, self-conscious, or like you are not "enough." You may struggle to find your authentic voice and honor your values in your relationships or career. Life circumstances, societal pressures, past trauma, depression, and anxiety can all create obstacles to experiencing inner peace, trust, and confidence.

I use Eastern practices (breathwork, mindfulness) combined with Western Psychology (Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral, the enneagram) to guide clients to the joy of being fully present in the moment.
When it comes to developing effective means to obtain our desired outcomes, we have all created conditioned patterns early in life that were designed by our very young psyches as our best bet to never feel certain painful experiences again. These patterns were likely adaptive when we were children but they come at a cost for us as adults, leading us to live smaller than our heart’s truest desires. My ideal client is ready to travel into his/her own heart, to learn how to listen and honor the wisdom inherent therein creating their best, most fulfilling life.

Counseling is a second career for me. My dedication to this work began after witnessing a close friend struggle to find appropriate mental health care for their child for many years. Feeling strongly that I wanted to give back to others struggling with managing mental health disorders, I decided to leave a for-profit position for more meaningful work in counseling and psychology. I feel very much at home as a therapist.

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.
