About My Clients
Living with grief, trauma and stress can feel lonely and isolating. These can also take form in different ways, showing up as chronic pain, fatigue, sleeping, depression and anxiety. If you are looking to be proactive in your mental health healing, want to incorporate empowering coping skills and also have the desire to change patterns that no longer serve you, these therapy sessions can help you to integrate your stress and trauma in a way that allows you to feel embodied and whole again.
My Background and Approach
The approach I use is one that brings in both the body and the mind. Yoga therapy uses movement, breathing techniques and mindfulness to help you be present with your body again. A body centered approach helps you to process your trauma in a way that involves more than just talking, but learning to be present and explore the somatic sensations that will arise with curiosity. Yoga studies have shown to significantly reduce PTSD, depression and anxiety symptoms. It brings in the concept of body awareness and opening yourself to the transitory nature of one’s momentary experience in a way that feels safe. We'll address finding safety in your body and learn to regulate and tolerate sensations and emotions. You'll gain resiliency through this tools and I collaborate with you as a therapist to be able to use these tools on your own at home so you can gain more confidence outside of therapy. These are tools that will transform your life, heal your body and mind holistically.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that a body centered approach is one in which can be the most powerful and transformative experience in a therapy setting. The greatest healing I have experienced and witnessed has been through body centered approaches. I believe you are already whole. Healing is about re-discovering your wholeness. Being able to learn the tools to be grounded, present and to be able to experience your breath in a way that can help regulate, calm and soothe your nervous system. These are simple tools, that are very powerful when used in a setting with a therapist. To heal you must do it in a way that you feel empowered and safe. That is the type of environment I look to create for you. I believe you already have the tools. It's having the safety to allow your body to remember what it means to be embodied--to really be able to experience joy and peace again. This I know is possible. I would be honored to work with you on your healing journey. Feel free to reach out + connect.
