Holistic Therapy

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!

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

I approach therapy holistically, considering the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. I integrate somatic techniques, mindfulness, and creative interventions to support healing on all levels. By focusing on the whole person, I help clients address emotional, physical, and mental health challenges, fostering balance and well-being. My goal is to empower clients to connect deeply with themselves and navigate life’s challenges from a place of wholeness.

I use transpersonal psychology tools.

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 work from a body-mind-spirit philosophy, as they are all connected. We can explore how your nervous system may be dysregulated and ways to support your body through exercise, diet, connection, sleep, and rest. We can examine thinking patterns and ways to shift them, creating new and healthier associations. By going deeper, we can honor unhealed wounds, leading to a more connected state and deeper relationships with yourself, others, purpose, and meaning.

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.

Holistic therapy supports individuals with anxiety or people-pleasing tendencies by addressing the connection between mind, body, and spirit. It incorporates mindfulness, breathwork, and body awareness to help you manage anxiety, while also exploring emotional patterns that fuel people-pleasing behaviors. By focusing on the whole person, holistic therapy encourages self-compassion, emotional balance, and helps you build healthier boundaries, leading to a more regulated and aligned experience.

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.

I see the value in every different approach and modality in therapy, so I try to tailor my approach to each individual client and their unique, everchanging issues using holistic therapy. I have used mindfulness, CBT, ACT, person-centered, psychodynamic, and DBT all with one client so far depending on what they needed with each session.

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.

In my sessions I provide the option to incorporate Reiki, Hilot, movement, and/or tarot as supplemental modalities to traditional psychotherapy. I am trained in all of these practices.

I treat my clients as a whole person rather then a diagnosis. I see the importance of addressing all areas of a person's health and wellbeing, including their mental and emotional health but also social, physical, spiritual, and occupational health as well. All of these life areas interact and impact on another, so I find the counseling experience to be most effective when all areas are in a state of growth.

Holistic therapy is centered upon the mind-body-soul[-breath] connection. Therefore, whatever issue is arising for discussion the therapy setting is perceived through the lens of the whole body. This includes techniques to help a person become more familiar and comfortable with emotions, thoughts, moods, intuitions, physical and physiological responses, and techniques to support each experience.

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 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.

Holistic therapy aims to integrate all facets of your being - mind, body, spirit - in order to achieve overall wellness. Rather than being symptom-focused, holistic therapy takes into account what makes up the whole-person.

My work is dedicated to remaining holistic and centered around the desires, goals, and comfort of each client. I want to help you navigate your world, offering clarity and understanding as you explore what truly matters to you. Together, we'll uncover core values and identify meaningful steps to move forward. My goal is to provide interventions and strategies that align with who you are and what resonates most with your unique perspective.

Focus is geared towards the individuals physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. This approach consists of various practices of expressive arts, meditation, relaxation, nutrition, physical movement, and interpersonal connection.
