About Mindy
We’ve all heard it said that “healing begins within.” Going within to heal starts with
finding and laying bare the wound that resides there and causes distress. That can be a
difficult and scary process. Whether you’ve been wounded by an unstable or traumatic
childhood, an unhealthy or failed relationship, the death of a loved one, a serious health
condition or any unwanted change, my role as your therapist is to accompany and support
you as you develop awareness, find acceptance and do the work necessary to heal the
wound.
My approach to therapy is holistic, strongly focused on the interplay of mind, body and
spirit in healing and in maintaining a life that is personally satisfying. I embrace and
teach a mindfulness-based foundation to the work and I utilize evidence-based therapies,
including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy which focuses on understanding how thoughts
and beliefs can affect patterns of behavior and interfere with a person’s ability to function
effectively. Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal informed skills and EMDR are
techniques I use in my work with individuals who have experienced trauma and
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. I likewise work with clients to incorporate the use of
complementary practices, including attention to diet, exercise, sleep, meditation and yoga
into their daily routines.
Whether you’ve worked with a therapist in the past or you are considering a first
experience, I commend you on making the search. The therapeutic relationship is one
that must “fit like a glove.” I look forward to the possibility of hearing from you and the
opportunity to work with you in the future in your journey to healing.
