WHY THERAPY?
There are many good reasons to explore therapy. You could be grappling with complicated family dynamics, navigating a challenging relationship, or struggling with grief. You may be in the middle of a crisis, dealing with anxiety or depression, or trying to cope with a big life change. You may feel you've lost a part of yourself, and you're not where you had hoped to be at this point in your life. Or, maybe you just want to feel better but don't know
how to get there.
Whatever your reason, I'm here for you, I care, and I'm listening.
THERAPY
​My approach to therapy is compassionate, strengths-based and solution focused. I integrate the most effective talk therapy, somatic therapy, and mindfulness practices with complimentary methods to heal trauma and upsetting life experiences. I practice only evidence-based psychotherapy crafted to address your unique concerns, including the little “t” traumas of daily life and the big “T” traumas that may shake you to your core and change your life forever.
Mindfulness practices involve focusing on the present moment without judgment or interpretation.
MINDFULNESS-BASED THERAPY
Practices like moment to moment awareness, breathing exercises and mindful movement can lower anxiety, decrease depression and reduce the impulse to cope by relying upon destructive or unhealthy behaviors. They are among the most successful practices for restoring balance to the fight or flight response, which is often working overtime in the brains of people with a history of trauma.
"Weaving" , the act of carefully combining different
elements to create a complex whole.
INTEGRATIVE THERAPY
In my integrative therapy approach, I integrate evidence-based techniques to meet your specific needs. Rather than using a single generic method, I carefully assess your situation to identify the most effective strategies to address your unique challenges. This allows me to provide a holistic and adaptable approach that fosters both healing and growth.
Somatic interventions address the connections
between the brain, the mind, and behavior, using the body as a way to process and heal.
SENSORIMOTOR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Our body holds memories of our trauma, so we can’t fully heal from trauma without including the body in that process. Symptoms like anxiety and unsettling memories are ways the body tells us that we don’t feel safe inside. In Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, we use body awareness as a key part of healing. This approach focuses on the connection between the brain, mind, and behavior, using the body as a pathway to recovery. By skillfully integrating methods grounded in understanding of how the nervous system works, trauma therapy can more effectively address the distressing physical responses tied to emotional experiences.
