Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness is not about emptying your mind or becoming perfectly calm. It is about noticing what is here, with a little more kindness and a little less urgency.

What Mindfulness Means in Therapy
Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment on purpose, without rushing to judge it. In therapy it can help you notice a thought as a thought, a feeling as a feeling, and a sensation as a sensation, rather than being swept away by all of them at once.
My work blends mindfulness with Eastern philosophy and a bigger-picture view of life. It is grounded rather than escapist. We are not trying to float above your experience, but to be with it more fully.
Where This Comes From for Me
Meditation and yoga have been part of my own life for a long time. I completed a hatha yoga teacher training in 2003 and co-owned a yoga studio before I opened my practice. My work with clients is informed by that ongoing personal practice as much as by formal training.
In sessions, mindfulness might look like pausing to notice your breath, slowing down when a strong feeling arrives, or getting curious about the story your mind is telling.
Learning a New Way to Be in the World
Over time, mindfulness can loosen the grip of old patterns and the constant forecasting that keeps sensitive people on edge. There is more room to respond rather than react.
