Holistic therapy is just an approach to therapy that includes the “whole” person (mind, body, spirit). Holistic therapy considers how sleep, stress, movement, nutrition, relationships, and nervous system health all influence emotional wellbeing.

You are also a whole person in an environment that impacts you. The systems (family, communities, politics, culture, religion, etc.) we are part of impact how we see the world and engage in it.

I take a trauma-informed and attachment-based approach, and I will always bring you back to what’s going on in your body (heaviness, tightness, numbness, etc.) The modalities I tend to use are ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), Polyvagal theory, Mindfulness-based, and Somatic Approach.

Sessions are collaborative and personalized to you. Depending on a person’s interests, we’ve incorporated creative expression (art, music), movement (yoga, stretching), breathwork, tapping (EFT), and guided meditation in session to aid in the therapeutic process.

I also provide SSP, a listening therapy for somatic nervous system regulation.

I work with people who are navigating:

• Anxiety and overwhelm

• Depression

• Trauma (including PTSD and complex relational trauma)

• Life transitions (significant life event, identity shifts, loss, new phase of life)

• Fear of being seen

• Low self-esteem

• Perfectionists

• Shadow work

• Inner child and parts work

• Identity and gender issues

• Sexuality concerns

• Highly sensitive persons

• Spirituality (including religious trauma, spiritual awakening)

You can expect a judgment-free space to explore your human-ness. I will direct us back to your emotions and felt experience in the body.

Sessions with me are virtual. We will meet online via Zoom.

In our first session, I will get a zoomed-out picture of what’s going on in your life: current challenges, physical/somatic symptoms, lifestyle factors (sleep, movement, digestion), relationships, and support systems. We’ll collaborate on your goals, which will direct our work in future sessions.

Following sessions are (again) going to be in line with your goals. My approach can be a bit willy-nilly, meaning I truly believe that what we need to discover/work on/experience will come up naturally in session. I will guide you based on the here and now experience (what your are feeling in your body, emotions coming up, etc.).

Modalities I use:

• Somatic (guidance to your felt experience to help process stuck emotion or fight-flight-fawn response)

• IFS (parts work to help you have more self awareness and self compassion)

• Somatic IFS combines the two above

• Mindfulness (guided meditation and breathwork for nervous system regulation)

I am available for a free 15-minute consultation call to make sure we are a good fit. You can reach out here to schedule a call.
