Mindfulness-Based Therapy in California
A little space to pause and reconnect.
When life feels hurried or overwhelming, it can be difficult to notice what you need. Mindfulness invites you to bring gentle, curious attention to the present moment. In online therapy with me, we explore how that awareness can support your goals and your relationship with yourself.
You do not need to clear your mind
Mindfulness is the practice of noticing thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and surroundings without immediately judging them. Attention naturally wanders. The practice is to notice and return with kindness, rather than turn it into another task to get right.
We may begin with something simple: feeling your feet on the floor, looking around the room, or naming an emotion. Formal meditation is optional. You can keep your eyes open, pause, or choose a different practice.
Bringing awareness into everyday life
We might explore the moment before replying during an argument, the tension that appears when you feel pressured, or a familiar pattern of harsh self-talk. Noticing these experiences can create room to consider your needs and choose a response more intentionally.
Between sessions, a practice might be as small as giving one ordinary activity your full attention or pausing before a difficult conversation. Together, we decide what feels useful and manageable.
Mindfulness with care for your history
Some inward-focused practices can feel uncomfortable. We adapt the work to your comfort, preferences, and history; focusing on your surroundings may feel more supportive than focusing on your breath. Your feedback helps guide our work.
I integrate mindfulness with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, compassion, and trauma-informed care. It is one part of a collaborative therapeutic relationship, shaped around what brings you to therapy. Read more about our first sessions.
