Mindfulness
Ages 18+
Mindfulness is a psychological practice that involves paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It focuses on being aware of one’s thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surroundings, while accepting them as they are. As a certified evidenced-based mindfulness teacher, I integrate mindfulness-based practices in my individual therapy sessions. The ability to notice and attend to one’s thoughts, feelings, sensations, and surroundings is foundational to many psychotherapeutic approaches.

Mindfulness in Somatic Attachment Focused EMDR- (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is referred to as Mindfulness Resourcing. A necessary part of the process of learning how and when one is within The Window of Tolerance, also known as Ventral Vagal Nervous System activation which aids in the desensitization and reprocessing phases of EMDR treatment. With IFS- (Internal Family Systems Therapy), mindfulness is commonly referred to as doing a U-turn, learning to turn your focused attention toward yourself and practicing in-sight, to go inside and engage with a specific part of the inner self. This process helps to develop a deeper understanding and connection with your parts, leading to more balanced and harmonious inner system.
The benefits of mindfulness are well-researched, showing positive effects on both physical and emotional health. When integrated into treatment, mindfulness practices can foster self-compassion, reduce perceived stress, and improve sleep quality. By encouraging individuals to focus on the present moment without judgment, mindfulness helps break cycles of rumination and anxiety. This awareness can lead to more thoughtful responses rather than impulsive reactions, contributing to emotional regulation and resilience. On a physical level, mindfulness has been linked to lower blood pressure, improved immune function, and reduced symptoms of chronic pain. Its versatility makes it a powerful complement to a wide range of therapeutic approaches, from cognitive-behavioral therapy to trauma-focused treatments.
