“Let’s walk together on your journey toward healing—one piece at a time.” I work with children, adults, and families navigating life stressors and the impact of trauma. Using a trauma-informed care and compassionate approach, I focus on advocacy, strengthening relationships, and fostering meaningful change. Together, we’ll use individualized, evidence-based strategies to support your growth and healing every step forward. mindfulmik.org
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll start with a conversation focused on helping you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. You’ll have space to share what brings you in, along with your goals, questions, or concerns. I’ll gently gather information about your background, lifestyle, and current challenges in a way that feels respectful and relevant to you. This is not about judgment or evaluation, but a collaborative process of understanding your experiences and identifying patterns. By the end, we’ll clarify your goals and discuss a plan for moving forward together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What sets my approach apart is my belief that therapy is never one-size-fits-all. I tailor each session to your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Using evidence-based approaches such as trauma-informed care, CBT, and mindfulness, I provide practical tools while fostering self-awareness. Therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to build skills, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m best positioned to support children, adults, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, and significant life stressors. I work well with clients who are ready to explore patterns, build coping skills, and create meaningful change. Whether you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or seeking growth, I provide a supportive, goal-oriented space to foster healing, resilience, and stronger relationships. If you are ready to take that leap, reaching out is that first step.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My approach to CBT is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each client. Together, we explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, identifying patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I use structured, goal-oriented strategies—such as challenging unhelpful thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and applying tools like thought records or exposure exercises—to support meaningful change. While CBT is grounded in proven frameworks, I adapt each intervention to fit your unique needs, preferences, and goals. A key focus of my work is helping you build skills you can use outside of sessions, so you feel more confident managing challenges in your daily life. We also track progress in measurable ways, allowing you to see growth over time. Through this process, clients gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and experience lasting, meaningful change.
