THERAPY
Therapy is about growth, healing, transformation and change. Therapy focuses on what has happened in the past that is still interfering with the present. It can often follow a medical model with diagnosis and referrals to other medical professionals for medications and assessments as needed. In therapy there is a lot of focus on patterns of behavior, where they come from, what you are feeling and why, and then how to heal, balance and move forward as a whole person. Therapy is helpful for people who have symptoms of anxiety and depression, phobias, stress, despair, chronic illness and unresolved grief. It is excellent for family and relationship issues, as well as end of life issues. It is particularly helpful with trauma and post traumatic stress.
Initially, together we address the goals of the therapy. I will then give you some tools and practices that work for you to support you being more empowered in your process. Having established a foundation for you that is your “safe space” we begin to address what needs attention and healing. My goal is to support you in understanding why you feel and react the way you do and to know exactly how to process and transform these feelings and actions to what is healthier and more balanced. This is to build trust in yourself and to empower your wholeness and self-sufficiency. I tell all my clients “You hire me to one day fire me”! I am all for empowering you and expediting your process while still going at your own pace.
Since every person is unique in the way they process and in what they need, I draw on (as mentioned) multiple orientations and modalities to address what is needed. I also draw on my Naturopathic background and the latest neurological/brain research to give the most grounded and comprehensive treatment I can offer.
I work with all ages; the youngest, to date, was 1 1/2 years old. The oldest was 93.
Clients find that if they trust their own rhythm and go at their own pace they even have fun with their journey!
