Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

Mindfulness-based therapy encourages a deeper connection with yourself, an invitation to be truly present in each moment. At its core, mindfulness trains your innate capacity to pay attention. Because attention is deployed across every context of your life, strengthening it becomes a key factor for change in multiple domains at once.

During mindfulness practice, we attend to the sensations, thoughts, and emotions that arise and pass. You learn to observe your internal landscape without judgment or resistance, and that acceptance cultivates a space of tranquility within the chaos of life. Mindfulness quickly teaches us that we are not identical to our thoughts or feelings, and that dis-identification is an initial shift that begins to genuinely alter conscious experience.

Where the cognitive piece comes in

MBCT weaves mindfulness together with the tools of cognitive therapy. Instead of arguing with your thoughts, you learn to recognize them as mental events, patterns rather than facts, and to catch the spirals of rumination and self-criticism earlier and earlier, before they gather momentum. It's one of the best-researched approaches in the field, with especially strong evidence for preventing relapse into depression, and it pairs naturally with practical skills for regulating your nervous system.

Built well for interesting minds

I specialize in working with neurodivergence, particularly ADHD. Many of my clients are succeeding by most measures, capable and self-aware, yet keep hitting the same walls. An ADHD mind doesn't need to be fixed; it needs to be understood and worked with. Attention training meets you exactly where the struggle lives, and the cognitive work replaces years of accumulated shame with something more accurate — and more useful.

How we work together

Session to session, this can look like learning concrete skills to regulate your nervous system, or a deeper conversation about the patterns underneath. You'll be encouraged to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors at your own pace. This is a co-creative process where your experience and insight play a vital role. That collaboration is what makes deep transformation possible.
