Holistic Therapy

Functional Medicine practitioners use holistic approaches to look “upstream” to consider the complex interactions in your history, physiology, and lifestyle that can lead to illness. The unique genetic makeup is considered, along with both internal (mind, body and spirit) and external (physical and social environment) factors that affect total functioning.

Holistic therapy utilizes a range of techniques to help individuals understand their symptoms. In addition, such strategies are designed to foster a greater sense of self-awareness to better understand the connections between their body, mind, and relationships and how these elements play a role in mental health. Mindfulness practices are utilized as well as learning how to self-regulate emotions and nervous system. Walk & Talk therapy would be a great option for this approach.

A holistic approach means seeing a person as a whole being and recognizing the interconnectedness of one’s mind, body, and spirit in defining one’s overall wellness. Holistic balance utilizes a self-inventory of one’s mental (psychological), physical, emotional (i.e. expression of emotions), and spiritual (i.e. values, beliefs, etc.) health to identify imbalances and work towards optimal wellness. Holistic balance emphasizes the belief that all areas of health are of equal importance.

In my sessions I have the option to incorporate Reiki, Hilot, movement, and/or tarot as supplemental modalities to traditional psychotherapy.

I integrate more traditional forms of therapy, including psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, with breath work, mindfulness, somatic experiencing and EMDR. I believe that increasing awareness of our physical, mental and emotional experiences helps us to heal and cultivate self-compassion.

My focus is on treating the whole individual mind, body & spirit. I teach clients how to relax or energize their bodies and minds through yoga, meditation and mindfulness in session. I also assist clients in improving their sleep which impacts mood, energy and overall functioning. I am also available to discuss spiritual issues if clients are open to that and help guide them to see how helpful any kind of spiritual path can be a helpful part of treatment.

As an expert in Holistic Therapy, my qualifications and expertise have been forged through years of specialized training and hands-on experience. My commitment to holistic approaches originates from a deep understanding that mental well-being is interconnected with physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. In my practice, I consistently apply the principles of holistic therapy, which entails treating the person as a whole - body, mind, and spirit.

I use several different approaches in therapy but they all have one thing in common, they are holistic. This is important in order to experience growth and healing in the mind, emotions and body. Therapy approaches that only focus on part of the person, will only experience part of the healing. I believe it is important to address the entire person because our mind, emotions and body are all connected.

Holistic is a neat way to say, you are more than just your symptoms. You are a person with your own experiences, and looking at life through your own lenses. We will explore how daily habits and practices, physical health, spiritual beliefs, might be influencing how you feel on a day to day basis.

In having a holistic approach I acknowledge that people have a whole environment of different factors, some helpful and some harmful.

I have a Masters of Arts in Holistic Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University.

I offer holistic care support that is molded to fit your personal needs as an individual. WIth 10 years background in holistic healthcare, I have witnessed and experienced the power of helping individuals from the inside out, working with the person as a whole. Therefore, i identify the importance of acknowledging each aspect of a person and working to hold up the areas that need extra care and attention in order to establish stability, longevity and wellness in their life.

It is important that we look at you as a whole person as we address your needs in counseling since there may be other factors that contribute to your mental health needs. This may include addressing your mental health, physical health, spiritual health, relationship/social health, career health, and anything else that may play a contributing role in your holistic wellness.

I not only focus on holistic health for myself, but promote holistic care within my therapy work as well. There are many intertwined parts working to make us who we are, which means we have to focus attention to those aspects in our life as well.

I find the holistic approach complimentary in working with life transitions which can be a change in the body, mind, or spirit. My education and experience in hospice and palliative care and specializing with adults and aging have lead me to assess and treat people with a biopsychosocial and spiritual model taking into consideration the entire human being and their life experiences that will guide discovery, transformation and the willingness to thrive.
