Mindfulness therapy
Licensed mindfulness based therapist in the Temecula Valley
Returning to the present moment
When life feels overwhelming, your mind may race ahead into worry or circle back into regret. You may find yourself on autopilot—disconnected from your body, your feelings, and your sense of peace. Mindfulness therapy offers a way to slow down, come home to yourself, and create more space between stress and response.
Through gentle, evidence-based practices, mindfulness therapy helps you cultivate presence, self-awareness, and compassion for yourself. It’s not about “emptying your mind” or doing it perfectly—it’s about noticing with kindness, learning to breathe through difficult moments, and rediscovering calm within.

Integrating mindfulness into your healing
Mindfulness isn’t just something you practice in session—it becomes a way of living with more ease, awareness, and compassion. Over time, you’ll find yourself more grounded in the present moment, more resilient in the face of stress, and more connected to the life you truly want to live.
What it looks like to work with me
In person and online across CA, AZ, WA & OR
Therapy with me is relaxed, grounding, and real.
I am an understanding guide, empathic support, and dedicated resource coming from a place of authenticity and compassion.
You won’t find a stiff or clinical atmosphere here—you can expect a space that feels safe, welcoming, and downto-earth. We might sit in chairs or even on the floor, and I show up in comfortable clothing so you can feel at ease being yourself, too. I can be direct when needed and I also have a sense of humor.
Our therapy sessions are flexible and creative.
Alongside talking, I often weave in somatic movement, breathing practices, visualization, meditation, mindfulness, dream work, parts work, or even the use of oracle cards when it feels supportive..

Mindfulness Based Therapist in Temecula, Murrieta & Menifee
Together, we’ll find the approaches that best fit your needs and help you connect more deeply with yourself. We work together to make sure that you feel safe, and we always move at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Nothing is off-limits in therapy.
You’re welcome to bring any subject, any emotion, and yes, even your unfiltered language. I encourage you to come prepared, having reflected on what you’d like to explore, discover, or process that day. I love when client’s show up with lists! I only work with clients who are keen to own their therapy process and do the work outside of our therapy time.
