How does mindfulness-based therapy (MBCT) work and how can it help?
Mindfulness-based therapy helps you build a different relationship with your thoughts, emotions, and body. Rather than trying to push difficult feelings away or “fix” them immediately, MBCT invites you to slow down, notice what is happening in the present moment, and meet your inner experience with more curiosity and compassion. In our work, mindfulness may include paying attention to bodily sensations, emotional patterns, recurring thoughts, dreams, relational triggers, and the deeper meanings beneath symptoms. This can be especially helpful when you feel caught in cycles of anxiety, depression, overthinking, self-criticism, or emotional overwhelm. MBCT can help you recognize patterns before they take over, become more grounded in your body, and respond to life with more awareness rather than reacting automatically. Over time, mindfulness can create more space between what you feel and how you respond, allowing for greater emotional regulation, self-understanding, and inner steadiness.
My work is depth-oriented, relational, and mind-body centered. That means we don’t just focus on managing symptoms — we listen for what your struggles are trying to say. I draw from Jungian and psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment theory, somatic awareness, and dreamwork. Together, we pay attention to patterns, emotions, relationships, and the symbolic language of the psyche. Therapy becomes a place where insight, emotional experience, and embodied awareness come together. I see therapy as a collaborative process. The relationship itself matters, and change often happens through genuine understanding and meeting — sometimes for the first time. I’m a licensed psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience in private practice. I'm currently in training with JPA in New York for archetypal psychoanalytic psychotherapy and have trained in EMDR, IFS, RLT, CBT, Hakomi, and more. I offer individual and group psychotherapy, and working with adults across a wide range of life concerns.
