INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
mindfulness
in therapy
Mindfulness is the practice of bringing attention to our present moment experience. We access this mindful state by observing our thoughts, emotions, and body experiences as they occur. In our sessions, you will be encouraged to access this mindful state as you discuss the significant topics in your life. By staying present with your experience, you can better understand how these topics affect you, and we can identify what coping tools will be useful for you.

When you share an experience that causes anxiety, I might ask you to notice how that anxiety shows up in session, even as you talk about it (sensations, five senses, impulses for movement). As you gain more clarity on how anxiety emerges for you, we may practice a tailored mindfulness exercise for relaxation. By observing your response to the exercise, we can make adjustments, deepen the practice, or try something new. Over time, you may find you can better observe your experience of anxiety and respond effectively in the moment.
what to expect
We typically meet one time per week for a 50-minute session. You will have space to share important history, what brings you to counseling, and what your goals are. In our meetings, we may explore your past, learn new skills, or imagine your future - all in an effort to better align your life with how you want it to be. You will be encouraged to pay attention to information from your body. You can expect to have your strengths and wisdom honored.
How i work
I’m led by warmth, cultural humility, creativity, and humor. My sessions are collaborative, trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and compassion-centered.
Coming to therapy can be a challenging and vulnerable experience. Cultural differences between us can impact feelings of comfort and safety in session. As a provider, I aim to bring light to these often unspoken dynamics so we can build the trust and safety to move forward together towards your goals.
