private practice
Please note: I am currently doing all of my therapy sessions by phone.
A key component to the healing process is the connection. Connection has to do with a meeting
of mind and heart, an atmosphere based on trust.
Amazingly, we don't have
to be in the same room for this connection to occur.
It just natrually happens when two or more people are joined
through a common intention.
I have what is called an integrative practice which just means that
I combine a lot of different techniques and theories together to help clients uncover their limiting beliefs. We do a lot of talking and listening. We might go back to childhood issues or interpret a dream or reframe a way of thinking. We might talk about personality traits or better ways to communicate -- but besides talk-therapy, I use another set of techniques that bring a deeper, experiential component to the work. Two examples are Guided Imagery and Somatic Therapy (See below). Experiential forms of therapy allow clients to actually feel in their bodies when they are living from a space of authenticity or when they are living out of fear-based assumptions. This brings a power to the work that can’t be found through talk-therapy alone.
Inherent in my work is an appreciation of the mind/body/heart/ soul/spirit connection. When these components are in alignment, we experience a deep sense of well-being. My job is to help clients see where they are out of that alignment and to find ways to bring them into it. Healing is a process of interconnection - mind to body, body to heart, heart to soul and soul to spirit.
When mind, body, spirit (and I would add - heart and soul) are in harmony, happiness is the natural result.
