Mindful Mountain Counseling and Therapy Approach

Creative Therapy Specifically for You

At Mindful Mountain Counseling, I believe healing isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s a creative process, unique as you are. We’ll work with your whole experience—body, emotions, thoughts, spiritual health and relationships—to uncover what helps you feel grounded, resilient, and healthy. Just as no two people are alike, no two therapy and counseling approaches will be the same.

Part Science, Part Art

High-level therapy blends science and art. Therapist and client collaborate to explore which therapeutic models best serve a client’s personality, presenting issues, and goals. I draw from:

  • Attachment Theory (how early connections shape your relationships today)

  • Narrative Therapy (exploring the stories you tell yourself)

  • Existential Exploration (navigating life’s big questions and transitions)

  • Family Systems (seeing patterns that ripple across generations)

  • Mindfulness (anchoring in the present with curiosity, not judgment)

Underpinning it all is Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB)—the science of how our brains change through awareness and connection.

Collaborative & Dynamic

Therapy with me is a lively space where:

  • We co-create new perspectives—no passive nodding here.

  • You’re encouraged to question old assumptions that limit you.

  • Laughter, metaphor, and art may fuel insight.

  • Your feedback directs the process—because you’re the expert on your life.

Mindfulness weaves through it all, helping you pause, notice, and choose instead of react.

Mindfulness: Your Built-In Compass

Mindfulness isn’t about emptying your mind—it’s about waking up to your life. Research shows it helps:

  • Quiet anxiety and depression by rewiring reactive brain patterns.

  • Deepen self-trust during grief, illness, or uncertainty.

  • Strengthen relationships by listening with full presence.

In our work, you’ll learn to:

  • Slow down automatic reactions.

  • Tune in to your body’s wisdom.

  • Meet difficulty with kindness (yes, even toward yourself).
