Life can be truly challenging at times. We feel these things deeply, impacting us mind, body, and spirit. My approach as a therapist honors the belief that people are doing the best they can, are not broken, and that our role together is to co-determine what they need to move forward from surviving to thriving. This path looks a little different for everyone. That’s part of what I love about doing this work.

For this reason, I practice from a holistic and integrative perspective. We can work together from the “top-down,” the “bottom-up,” or a combination of the two. A top-down approach can include focusing on developing insight and understanding, or increased mindful presence or self-awareness. This is where noticing one’s experience more fully, practicing making space for (or unhooking from) certain thoughts and beliefs, and developing increased self-kindness and awareness of one’s process can happen.

Additionally, I also offer therapy incorporating the body, autonomic nervous system and deeper regions of the brain (where memories and emotions are stored). With training in bottom-up techniques, such as the use of applied Polyvagal theory, Brainspotting, and somatic resourcing exercises from EMDR, chronic patterns and reactions can be loosened and unstuck, increasing a sense of emotional flexibility, groundedness and resilience.
