Therapy Approaches

Mindfulness

Learning to be present with your experience, without being swept away by it.

Mindfulness
What It Is

Awareness without judgment

Mindfulness is the practice of paying deliberate, non-judgmental attention to your present-moment experience — your thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and the world around you. Rather than trying to change or eliminate your experience, mindfulness teaches you to observe it with openness and curiosity.

This simple-sounding shift has profound effects. When we stop fighting our inner experience and start relating to it differently, we find that thoughts and feelings — even painful ones — have less power to overwhelm us. We develop the capacity to respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically.

Mindfulness is woven throughout my work with clients. It underpins DBT and ACT, informs how I approach emotional regulation, and serves as a practice clients can use on their own between sessions.

This approach may help if you are

  • Dealing with anxiety, stress, or a restless, racing mind
  • Feeling disconnected from the present — always in the past or future
  • Struggling with emotional reactivity or impulsive responses
  • Looking for practical tools you can use daily, not just in therapy
  • Recovering from burnout or overwhelm
  • Wanting to develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself

What to Expect

How mindfulness is incorporated into therapy

Rather than teaching mindfulness as a standalone practice, I weave it into the work we do together. This might look like pausing to notice what’s happening in your body, bringing awareness to a thought pattern as it arises in session, or developing a personal practice that supports your between-session wellbeing.

You don’t need any prior experience with meditation or mindfulness to benefit. We start wherever you are.

Start the conversation

I offer a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation. It’s a chance to talk, ask questions, and see if working together feels right.
