Mindfulness Techniques
My goal is to help my clients heal, learn healthy coping skills, and find confidence during their life transitions. I’m interested in working with adults who are dealing with depression and anxiety about midlife issues that include parenting, worry about aging, dealing with regret, and finding clarity on life's purpose. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Anger Management, Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, and Polyvagal Theory. I also bring years of helping people with mindfulness skills from my work as a yoga therapist.
I feel concerned that adults don’t have a clear guide for navigating some of the challenges they face in midlife. In our society getting older is seen as a social and medical problem. Any unresolved anxiety or depression issues can feel magnified, and some adults are despairing. Using a compassionate therapeutic framework, we will improve your ability to self-analyze, find forgiveness, find happiness in the present moment, and confidently regain a sense of purpose.
I specialize working with adults and couples to:
Navigate transitions
Heal from grief and regret
Gain skills and insights to navigate anxiety and depression
Learn healthy relationship skills
Find productive ways to express anger
Heal attachment issues
Practice lifestyle hacks that increase mental health
Understand the science of the stress response
