Our emotions, behaviors, and physical body are sensitive to the stressors we face; we can literally FEEL anxiety, depression, and strong emotions. These stressors can affect our whole selves, often manifesting in negative thinking patterns and/or physical sensations of stress. Whether you are having trouble managing stress, and/or experiencing grief, loss, difficult emotions, relationship issues, anxiety/panic, or you feel like you've lost yourself somewhere along the way, working with your mind AND body through integrated psychotherapy, can help.
Moving through the effects of stressors is a process that is different for everyone. Mind/body oriented psychotherapy, utilizes a variety of techniques that are tailored to meet your needs. In this way, you will learn the skills needed to find and walk your path to wellness.
I understand that the process of finding a therapist can feel overwhelming, so congratulations on taking your first step with this search. (insert exhale here). Now let's see if I'm the one to walk this path with you. The therapist-client relationship is important, so reach out and schedule your free consultation to assure we are a good fit.
