I offer traditional psychotherapy (i.e., Eclectic, Person Centered, CBT, solution-focused and DBT). My expertise is in Mindfulness and Somatic Trauma approaches. I studied the polyvagal theory to learn to better serve clients who carry the burden of trauma within their bodies. I am currently trained in sound healing which is a holistic approach utilized to alter brain waves by slowing them down so they can function from a restorative state which then allows the brain to release endorphins that will support the relief of stress and strengthen the bodies overall immune system for improved mood and relaxation. Sound healing has been known in other cultures to reduce anxiety, physical pain and support clients with reconnecting with the inner self. My focus is to also support clients with learning somatic breathwork so they can learn to consciously breath for purpose of retraining the body and mind to relax and default the body to living in a clam, yet alert way of being.
