Mindfulness-based Therapy

We use "the now" to help individuals ground themselves and cope with daily struggles in a compassionate and caring way.

I find it helpful to develop non-judgmental stances towards thoughts, feelings, and body sensations and working to increase awareness and integration of those experiences. This is an essential part of EMDR therapy and together the two approaches complement each other.

Mindfulness means being in the present moment. Often we can lose track of the little things happening in the moment and we get caught up in the content. I believe our minds and bodies are connected. Problems can often cause us physical discomfort as well. For example, anxiety may cause a tight chest and a headache for an individual. In sessions, i’ll ask what sensations are coming up when I notice tension. allows people to slow down and regulate their minds and bodies. Clients gain a sense

What we attend to grows. Working with mindfulness practices builds pathways in the brain and body that link us to sources of wellbeing. I will teach you about the practice of mindfulness as well as why mindfulness is important and how it works so you can explore which avenues of mindfulness are most effective for you.

Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment. Practicing mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress.

Mind Body Medicine tools are available to tap your wisdom and growth through a variety of experiences that I have participated in as a member and through workshops with Dr. James Gordon. Guided imagery, creative writing, drawing, looking inward and various types of meditation and mindful practices are available.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is a type of psychotherapy that involves a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), meditation, and the cultivation of a present-oriented, non-judgmental attitude called "mindfulness."

As a therapist, I specialize in guiding women towards cultivating a profound connection with their bodies. Through mindfulness practices, we explore the present moment without judgment, fostering a compassionate understanding of thoughts and sensations. This transformative approach enables women to break free from societal pressures, promoting self-love and acceptance. By incorporating mindfulness into therapy, we unravel the intricacies of body image, empowering individuals to build healthier

discussing the benefits of being in the moment. Teaching grounding techniques and being mindful throughout the many challenges that arise on a day to day basis.

I have been trained in MBCT and enjoy helping clients resolve mental health issues through a lens of mindfulness.

The mind body connection is such an important part of healing and feeling healthy. I have done extensive training and research on using breathing, guided imagery, muscle relaxation and yoga in a therapeutic setting. I have been using these techniques to support my clients in their treatment of anxiety and depression, as well as to help them live fuller and healthier lives.

Mindfulness practices are rooted in ancient contemplative traditions, particularly in Buddhism, but they have been adapted and integrated into various psychotherapeutic approaches in recent decades. Mindfulness techniques are often used to help individuals develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and coping skills. Mindfulness practices are also shown to reduce stress, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, enhance concentration, and improve sleep.

Breathing is healing. Yes, it really is that simple!

Mindfulness is often talked about as a way to practice being more present. This is one part of mindfulness practice, being aware about the moment you are in. It is also about acceptance and change, tapping into the senses to be more fully present in your life, and calming the nervous system so you reduce the negative impact of stress. Mindfulness-based therapy in our work together means breathing, feeling, noticing, saying aloud, and setting intentions.

Dr. Inez evokes paced breathing, meditation, non-attachment, and other Taoist principles in her work.

I have been practicing mindfulness for many years and am particularly fond of the work of Tara Brach, Ph.D. as well as Thich Hat Hanh.

My Masters in Clinical Mental Health counseling was embedded on a foundation of mindfulness training including 9 intensive meditation retreats, regular meetings with a mindfulness instructor, and meditation and mindfulness weaved throughout class time and ciriculum.

Using mindful self-compassion, I work with you on a journey of self acceptance, body awareness, self-compassion and love, so you can be supported and affirmed as you are. Not everyone has the same door in to awareness and self-care. Let's learn more about what makes you tick, so you can feel understood and make more positive connections with others. You can do this! I can help.

Mindfulness therapy helps clients develop a deeper awareness of their thoughts, emotions, feelings, surroundings, and situations. Mindfulness-based therapies use meditation, relaxation, and awareness exercises to help focus on the present moment, aiming over time to experience everyday situations and stressors in nonjudgmental and non-reactionary ways.

We can be really mean to ourselves! Cultivating a nonjudgmental, self-compassionate approach to your thoughts and experiences helps to shift this energy towards healing.
