WHAT TO EXPECT

Therapy is a powerful tool for helping people access their inherent creativity, resiliency, and the potential to manifest their ideal lives. My job as your therapist is to walk alongside you and to help you to move from where you are now to where you want to go.

I take a structured approach to therapy. We begin with an assessment designed to identify your concerns, core strengths, struggles, and goals. We then work together to create a clear-cut roadmap to achieve your desired outcomes. Each program is unique and custom-tailored to fit your individual needs and objectives.

A MODERN LOOK AT THE SAME OLD SYMPTOMS

Our symptoms are rarely the result of a single cause. Emerging research shows that the health of our gut microbiome, circadian rhythms, and the quality of the food we eat are significant contributors to mental health disorders. Likewise, trauma, depression, and anxiety all have an effect on our physical health. When we stop treating the symptoms and start treating the whole person, we bring about meaningful progress and powerful results.

I know how difficult it is to create lasting change. I provide clients with inspiration, compassionate support, and guidance in making new choices and following through. My passion is guiding people on their journey towards healing and witnessing their powerful transformations.

TREATMENT MODALITIES

Traditional psychotherapy

I am a body-centered, trauma-informed psychotherapist. My work is underscored by depth psychology and parts work, which aims to address all levels of the psyche and aspects of the self.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress caused by disturbing life experiences.

The EMDR model posits that the therapy facilitates the processing of traumatic memories to bring them to an adaptive resolution. After successful treatment with EMDR, affective distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological arousal is reduced.

EMDR uses an eight-phase treatment model that utilizes bi-lateral stimulation (eye movements, tactile or auditory stimulation) in the processing phase of treatment. EMDR addresses the past, present, and future. Focus is given to past disturbing memories and related events. Also, it is given to current situations that cause distress, and lastly to developing the skills and attitudes needed for positive future change.

SOMATIC EXPERIENCING

The Somatic Experiencing® method is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma and other stress-related disorders.

Mental Health Nutrition

What we eat and how we live dictates how we feel. Supplementing our therapeutic work with nutrition and lifestyle modifications improves therapeutic outcomes. I also work with health providers and their clients to provide nutritional support for mental health.

We now know that the body is a vast, interconnected organism. When one system is not functioning optimally, it creates a cascade effect that leads to dysfunction in other areas. Establishing the root cause and bringing each system into alignment allows the body to naturally restore itself to full wellness.

Untreated trauma, chronic stress, and adverse life experiences linger in our systems and create a host of issues including tension, relational problems, low self-esteem, autoimmune conditions, mystery illnesses, insomnia, and an array of other symptoms. Conversely, nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, and lifestyle imbalances contribute to depression, anxiety, ADHD/ADD, psychosis, and other “mental” health conditions.
