MBCT can be used to effectively treat stress, anxiety, chronic pain, and depression. Mindfulness is "the awareness that emerges through paying attentions, in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment to moment" (Kabat-Zinn 2003). Mindfulness-based interventions are evidence-based which means they are proven to work well to help people! I am certified in Mindfulness Cognitive Therapy.

Being stuck in a negative thought spiral can cause a lot of pain and suffering. We will exam your thoughts and working changing them so you can feel better and get back to doing the things you used to love! Thoughts-->Feelings--->Behavior is a cycle you can take control of!

I use various methods, including worksheets, meditation exercises, journaling, walk and talk technique, homework as therapeutic interventions for my clients. Since every client is different, we will come up with a plan together on how to best serve your needs and get the results you want.

I specialize in helping my clients manage and reduce their anxiety. Anxiety is a very common problem but it is also very effectively treated! There are many tools to use to control anxiety and anxiety related issues like panic attacks, phobias, health anxiety, and sleep issues.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the U.S. or 18.1% of the population every year. Anxiety disorders are highly treatable, yet only 36.9% of those suffering receive treatment. It is possible to control and reduce your anxiety using the proper techniques and tools.

With an extensive background as a medical social worker I have a lot of experience working with clients with chronic illness and pain. There are effective therapeutic treatments available to help navigate through the fear, uncertainty and isolation chronic illness can create.

Let's work together to get to the root of your sadness and develop new ways to overcome the difficult symptoms of depression like low motivation, isolation, loss of interest in activities, and feeling sad or hopeless. There is hope and therapy can help!
