Not your “typical” psychotherapist

I often hear from clients that working with me is different from previous experiences of therapy. In part it’s because I genuinely live and love the therapeutic process - it has been my passion for over 25 years. When I begin a therapy session, I don’t put on my “therapist hat” or behave like a medical professional. I show up as a real person who happens to have the skill of listening, supporting, and guiding others to see things differently and to gain more access their most authentic self. I see healing and personal growth as a life-long process, not something you only reach for when life gets challenging. My style is warm, approachable, and relaxed. I am told that I “get” people and make them feel seen, sometimes for the first time in their lives.

A Holistic Therapy Approach

Over the course of nearly 20 years as a therapist, I have developed an integrative approach based on several therapy modalities. Holistic therapy takes into account the whole person - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Somatic therapy is based in the belief that our experiences, emotions, and traumas are stored not only in our minds but also in our bodies, so it uses the body as part of the healing process.

The somatic method I use is based on Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing. While we will likely spend a good part of the session in conversation, there may be times when you will close your eyes and be guided through an interactive somatic exploration. This method can deepen the therapy experience and provides valuable insights that are rarely available to the conscious mind.

In addition to therapeutic modalities, I also incorporate holistic practices such as meditation, breathwork, and EFT Tapping to add an additional layer of depth and impact to the therapy process.
