Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Does it feel like no matter how much you commit at work or in your relationships; it is just not enough? Maybe it’s a partner who distorts your words. A parent who still belittles you. An employer who overwhelms you with work and ignores your progress. Perhaps your children even view you as the villain. You try to wage unity, but still feel misunderstood and mentally exhausted. You doubt everything you say. You’re always on the lookout. Maybe you’ve turned to unhealthy habits or scrolling just to get through the day. You’re not sabotaging yourself—it’s a survival strategy to relational trauma. I help remarkably experienced individuals who’ve spent years putting everyone else first and struggle with people-pleasing, fault finding, and doubt or defeat—unravel the patterns that have kept them stuck, so they can feel grounded and optimistic with who they are and in their worth. I work with children, adolescents, and adults.
