Holistic Therapy

As a trained integrative healthcare practitioner, certified clinical aromatherapist, and Reiki Master, I offer a holistic approach to psychotherapy that incorporates complementary modalities such as breathwork, mindfulness, and meditation. By combining these techniques with traditional therapy, I can provide a more comprehensive and personalized approach to your mental wellness.

I take a holistic approach to therapy in that I look at all of the elements of health including physical, financial, spiritual and social in addition to mental health. At times, this may also involve collaborating with other professionals that are working with you (with your permission). In addition to being a therapist, I'm also a Reiki practitioner. I can incorporate Reiki into sessions if my clients like and I can also teach them how to use Reiki for self-care.

I describe myself as a holistic therapist. What does that mean? Holistic therapists view their clients as whole people rather than collections of symptoms and problems. Using this lens, I help my clients better understand themselves, develop self-acceptance, focus on personal growth, and live fuller lives.

Both naturopathic medicine and counseling are based on a wellness, strengths-based model that emphasizes holism, prevention, and the therapeutic relationship. Part of my professional philosophy as not only an ND but also as a mental health counselor is that everyone has the power to achieve wellness, and even people with chronic disease, deep-rooted mental health struggles, or traumatic pasts have the ability to heal with the right guidance and interventions

I believe in a holistic approach connecting the mind, body, and spirit to find balance and calm. Using mindfulness and integrative therapeutic practices to work through the various emotions, thoughts, and feelings that may arise in a session. I focus on mind-body integration to help you stay present and grounded, with breathwork and gentle movements.

In working with my clients, I recognize the importance of compassionately and mindfully addressing the physical, spiritual, psychological, and emotional components of their experience in order to have a whole person understanding of their issue. The way I employ holistic therapy can help you learn how to regulate your nervous system, remember who you are and why you are here by embodying your present experience, and master ridding the waves of change and transformation.

As a therapist, my focus is on your total well-being- physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. I am able to provide support that sees you as a whole person, not just your mental health needs. This gives me the insight to help you find solutions to your greatest challenges and improve your overall well-being.

I like to consider the entire client and their wishes or beliefs in developing a treatment plan. We are a team and it's my job to help guide the treatment plan, but the ultimate decision is yours.

Holistic Psychotherapy is the integration of the connection between the mind, body and spirit in effort to address issues on a deep level. I hold traditional psychodynamic, nervous system based and Eastern healing traditions equally important and complementary. During our work together, we connect to your inner being and explore the various parts that need healing. There is also an emphasis on the whole person and your connection to self and others.

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

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.

Both naturopathic medicine and counseling are based on a wellness, strengths-based model that emphasizes holism, prevention, and the therapeutic relationship.

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

Holistic therapy integrates the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of well-being. I employ a holistic approach to address clients' concerns by considering their lifestyle, relationships, and belief systems. Through a combination of talk therapy, mindfulness practices, and lifestyle adjustments, I support clients in achieving balance and harmony in all areas of their lives, promoting holistic healing and growth.

I use a holistic, integrative approach, considering the whole person, and the interconnectedness of the mind, body & spirit. I uniquely tailor sessions blending evidence-based practices, including psychodynamic principles complimented with food mood psychology inspired by functional medicine, to address both root causes and current challenges.

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 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.
