About me
In my role as a mindfulness-based therapist, I am dedicated to creating a therapeutic environment that is nurturing and non-judgmental, allowing clients to delve into their inner workings with a sense of compassion and empathy. I emphasize the importance of being fully present in the current moment and embracing a mindset of acceptance without criticism in my therapeutic approach. Furthermore, I prioritize guiding clients toward cultivating a deep sense of self-compassion and understanding, recognizing these as fundamental elements for personal advancement and emotional reconciliation. By integrating mindfulness techniques and meditation practices, I actively assist clients in developing an enhanced self-awareness and fostering a compassionate outlook on their experiences.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the first session with a new client, focusing on building rapport and establishing goals is essential. I introduce myself and create a welcoming environment to help the client feel comfortable. I listen attentively to clients' concerns and validate their feelings and experiences. Building rapport involves showing empathy and establishing trust, so I strive to convey genuine interest in the client's well-being. Once rapport has been established, I discuss the client's goals. This involves a collaborative process where we work together to identify what the client hopes to achieve through counseling. I encourage the client to express their desires and aspirations while offering my support and guidance. Setting realistic and attainable goals that align with the client's needs and capabilities is crucial. Overall, the first session is about laying the groundwork for a solid therapeutic relationship and setting the stage for meaningful progress.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Cultivating mindfulness has had a profound impact on both my personal life and professional practice. Incorporating mindfulness into my daily routine has made me more present, compassionate, and understanding. As a result, it has dramatically enhanced my ability to connect with my clients deeper, leading to more meaningful and impactful therapeutic sessions. This mindful approach has enabled me to bring clarity and focus to each interaction, ultimately contributing to positive outcomes for those under my care. In sum, mindfulness has enriched my life and elevated my value as a provider.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Mindfulness-based therapy is a therapeutic approach that involves practicing mindfulness meditation and incorporating mindfulness techniques into daily life. This form of therapy is advantageous for a wide range of clients grappling with various mental health conditions, including stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and many others. Moreover, it benefits individuals seeking personal growth, self-discovery, and overall well-being enhancement. Furthermore, those contending with challenges in emotion regulation or impulse control may find mindfulness-based therapy particularly productive due to its focus on developing awareness and non-judgmental acceptance of one's thoughts and feelings.

My treatment methods
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy integrates mindfulness practices and techniques, allowing individuals to cultivate awareness of their thoughts and feelings. By focusing on the present moment without judgment, this approach can effectively alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression. Mindfulness-based therapy promotes emotional well-being and self-awareness when used alongside traditional therapy methods.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps clients accept their thoughts and feelings rather than avoid them. This approach encourages mindfulness and values-based living, allowing you to navigate life's challenges more effectively. In our sessions, we will work together to identify your core values and develop strategies that align with those values, empowering you to take meaningful action in your life. My goal is to support you in building a healthier relationship with your emotions and fostering personal growth.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In my practice, I utilize Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients identify their strengths and resources, allowing them to envision and work towards their desired outcomes. This approach emphasizes positive change and solutions rather than dwelling on problems, making therapy efficient and goal-oriented. By collaborating with you to set clear objectives, we will focus on building upon what is already working in your life, fostering hope and encouraging meaningful progress. My aim is to empower you to find solutions in a supportive and constructive environment.
