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.  I often help clients get to know the different sub-personalities within the self, often called our "parts." But besides talk-therapy, I use another set of techniques that brings a deeper, experiential component to the work. Two examples are Somatic Therapy and Guided Imagery.

Experiential forms of therapy allow clients to actually feel in their bodies when they are living from a space of authenticity (the body feels calm and strong inside) or when they are living out of fear-based assumptions (the body feels tense or uncomfortable).  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 notice when they are out of that alignment and to learn new ways to bring themselves back into it.
