Holistic Therapy

Sometimes we feel like parts of us are missing or are weak. We may be experiencing physical pain due to what we are thinking or feeling. The holistic approach is to to help correct, heal, and strengthen you as a whole individual. This may look like doing some stretching during a session, having a homework assignment to get a massage or enjoy a healthy meal, or maybe it’s sitting in your feelings and recognizing how they show up in your body.

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, sense of purpose) health to identify imbalances and work towards optimal wellness by strengthening weakened areas.

I love working with clients to think about how their health, nutrition and especially sleep effect their mental health. Whether a client is trying to get pregnant or recovering from growing/birthing a baby - health is a huge component of that journey. I especially help clients to focus on sleep - which is difficult, but so essential, in the postpartum period. I want clients to feel their best in every aspect of life - an sleep and nutrition are key factor in that.

I approach therapy by looking at the whole person, understanding that we are shaped by physical, emotional, mental, and social factors. Instead of focusing on one issue at a time, I consider your unique experiences, background, and environment. By addressing underlying patterns and life contexts, I help clients cultivate a deeper understanding and acceptance of themselves and their experiences.

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.

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.

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.

Holistic therapy looks at all parts of you. It holds the idea that you are a member of a family, you are a member of society, you are a member of a particular culture. Through a holistic lense we can look at how all these different parts intersect to create who you are.

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

In my holistic therapy practice, I incorporate sound bowls, hypnosis, and meditation to create a comprehensive healing experience. These modalities work together to promote relaxation, self-awareness, and emotional balance. Sound bowls help to facilitate deep relaxation and mindfulness, while hypnosis allows clients to explore and reframe their thoughts and behaviors. Meditation practices cultivate present-moment awareness and inner peace. Together, these techniques support individuals healing

Holistic therapy recognizes the profound connection between the mind, body, and spirit, considering them integral parts of the whole person. With the support of a holistic therapist, clients embark on a journey of deepening awareness and acceptance, embracing the complete self. This approach emphasizes the importance of listening to both the mind and body, fostering a spiritual understanding that promotes holistic well-being.

I combine tried and tested techniques and personalize them into a unique approach to help guide you into your healing journey. This makes my methods accessible and usable in your everyday life. I base my approach in the real world, focusing on progress and results. I carefully select and personalize these tools to empower you to heal yourself. With these tools you can learn to uncover root issues and let go of old patterns that may be keeping you from reaching your goals.

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 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.

Holistic Therapy is important because it incorporates our whole-person (i.e. body, mind, spirit) needs into the healing process. For example, the unmet needs of our creative spirit can negatively impact our sense of self-worth or how stretching in the morning can relax our minds. It's all connected!

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