My Holistic Approach to Healing and Growth

I believe in the remarkable capacity of individuals to heal, recover, and flourish in life. My approach to therapy is holistic, meaning I consider the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of well-being. I work alongside my clients to identify and address the underlying factors that contribute to their struggles.

Supporting You Through Challenges

I specialize in helping people overcome various challenges, including:

• Anxiety: Overcoming worry, fear, and obsessive thoughts that interfere with daily life.
• Trauma: Processing past experiences and their impact on your present life.
• Chronic Pain: Managing physical discomfort and regaining a sense of ease in your body.
• Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Healing from traumatic events and regaining a sense of safety and control.

My Commitment to Collaboration

I firmly believe in the power of collaboration and work alongside other healthcare professionals, including:

• Pain management programs
• Treatment centers for trauma and abuse survivors
• Pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions
• Twelve Step programs and other mutual support groups

My Guiding Principles

My therapeutic approach is guided by:

• Empowerment: Guiding you to believe in yourself and your capacity for growth.
• Collaboration: Working with you to find your own path to recovery.
• Compassion: Providing a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your emotions and vulnerabilities.
• Holistic Approach: Addressing your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Somatic Experiencing: A Body-Based Approach to Healing

I utilize the powerful techniques of Somatic Experiencing, a body awareness approach to trauma recovery developed by Dr. Peter Levine. This approach helps clients:

• Gain mastery over symptoms
• Build resilience
• Increase awareness of physiological and emotional reactions
• Regulate their bodies and emotions
• Move towards wellness and wholeness
