Do you struggle trying to relate to family and others so much so that it affects your relationships and sometimes your ability to perform you job? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated and/or angry by the seemingly endless complaints/requests of others? Do you wonder if there’s more to life? Now more than ever, People are feeling the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual effects of the The overwhelming events they have endured or witnessed. The effects of these overwhelming incidents (on top of any childhood traumas) have a profound effect on the autonomic nervous system leaving a person feeling exhausted and unable to deal with daily activities and often interferes with relationships. It can look like “zoning out” and your loved one might say, "You never listen to me!" You might find a need to use something (alcohol, drugs, sex, porn, video games, gambling, shopping, food, etc.) to feel calm, alive, better. You're not broken. I can help.

Mind-Body Therapy is an approach to healing and growth that looks at the person as a whole system: mind, body, and spirit; while traditional psychotherapy or "talk therapy," focuses on life history and the analysis of thought. As a Mind-Body therapist, I appreciate the person as a whole as well as the relationship between a person’s mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual experiences. This approach can also be called Holistic, Integrative, or Energy Healing Therapy.
I believe that it’s necessary to address more than the mind in therapy to get results.All of our experiences get stored within the body and it's the body's expression of emotions and physical sensations that causes discomfort or pain. This is where mind-body therapy can help. Also known as a somatic approach, my approach to healing includes a number of techniques that enhance the mind’s interactions with the body's expression to bring in relaxation and improve overall health and well-being. It can to get reconnected with the body and experience the physical sensations that are triggered during emotional events. Once reconnected with the body and self-regulation begins, so does healing.
Overall, the mind and emotions can impact physical health on a deeper level, and they often play a very important role in the way we experience pain. It often happens that people who suffer from chronic pain are also overly stressed, depressed or anxious and have experienced something that is considered to be traumatic. This is where the mind-body therapies can truly make a difference to help you relax and heal.
Techniques used in Mind-Body Therapy can include mindfulness, self-hypnosis, meditation, nutrition and wellness exploration, guided imagery, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT tapping). I like to combine a broad range of different holistic approaches to help each client reach the deepest level of healing possible.
Whatever the struggle, there’s hope for healing.
