Why Mindfulness Therapy?

When you’ve tried traditional talk therapy but still feel anxious, burned out, or disconnected, mindfulness-based therapy offers a different path.

Mindfulness therapy helps you:

  • Calm your nervous system in real time
  • Shift your relationship to stress and worry instead of just coping
  • Stay present and grounded even during high-pressure seasons
  • Reconnect with your authentic self beneath achievement, duty, or fear

As a licensed therapist with advanced training in mindfulness, yoga psychology, and Buddhist psychology, I bring a holistic approach that goes beyond surface-level strategies.

What Is Mindfulness Therapy?

Mindfulness therapy integrates awareness, presence, and nervous system regulation into the healing process.

Instead of only addressing symptoms, we look at:

  • Deeper patterns and beliefs that fuel anxiety and perfectionism
  • Body-based responses like tension, exhaustion, or racing thoughts
  • Cultural and family dynamics that shape your self-worth

My approach blends:

  • Mindfulness & meditation practices
  • Somatic awareness & nervous system regulation
  • Breathwork & grounding techniques
  • Yoga psychology & Buddhist insights
  • IFS-informed therapy for the inner critic and protective parts
  • Culturally sensitive, trauma-informed support

This holistic integration means you’re not just “coping,” you’re learning how to heal at the root and live with more ease.

“When she started letting go, her vision became clearer. The present felt more manageable and the future began to look open and full of bright possibilities. As she shed the tense energy of the past, her power and creativity returned to her. With a revitalized excitement, she focused on building a new life where joy and freedom were abundant.”
