What It Is
Mindfulness-based therapy and spiritual counseling recognize that human beings are not just psychological, we are also searching for meaning, connection, and a sense of something larger than ourselves. For many people, questions of faith, spirituality, purpose, and transcendence are deeply intertwined with their emotional wellbeing.
I offer therapy that honors this dimension of experience without imposing any particular belief system. Whether you come from a specific religious tradition, identify as spiritual-but-not-religious, or are simply curious about questions of meaning and existence, these conversations have a place in our work together.
Mindfulness, the practice of present-moment awareness with openness and non-judgment, is also woven into my approach as a practical and evidence-based tool for reducing suffering and increasing psychological flexibility.
What We Explore
Mindfulness in Practice
Mindfulness-based therapy approaches are now among the most well-supported psychological interventions for depression relapse, anxiety, and stress. I integrate these tools in ways that are accessible and meaningful, not just as techniques, but as a way of relating to your own experience.
This might look like learning to observe anxious thoughts without fusing with them, developing a more compassionate inner voice, practicing grounding when overwhelmed, or exploring how present-moment awareness can shift your relationship to chronic pain, grief, or rumination.

Somatic & Energy-Based Approaches
In addition to mindfulness-based and spiritual counseling, I am certified in two evidence-informed body-based approaches that can meaningfully deepen the therapeutic work:
EFT, sometimes called "tapping", is a clinically researched technique that combines gentle tapping on specific acupressure points with focused attention on distressing thoughts, feelings, or memories. It works by calming the nervous system's stress response while simultaneously processing difficult emotional material. EFT is particularly effective for anxiety, phobias, trauma, and persistent negative beliefs about oneself. Many clients find it surprisingly powerful and accessible, even those who are initially skeptical.
Many people who experience chronic anxiety, panic, or stress are unknowingly breathing in ways that dysregulate their nervous system, breathing too fast, too shallowly, or with patterns that maintain a state of physiological alarm. The Breathing Retraining Program addresses these patterns directly, teaching clients to retrain their breathing toward slower, more balanced rhythms that support calm and resilience. The results can be profound: reduced anxiety, better sleep, improved emotional regulation, and a greater sense of ease in the body. This approach pairs especially well with mindfulness practice and psychoanalytic work.
