Flow is mental health. Feeling stuck is a mental illness. My job is to help you get unstuck. Trauma makes you stuck. Your brain creates defense mechanisms based on the traumatic event. Your body remembers the impact. I believe that many problems are rooted in trauma including attachment wounds. I work with anxiety, addiction, identity, unhelpful thought/behavioral patterns, cultural transition, and spiritual abuse through the lens of trauma. I attend to your body closely in the session for metabolizing your stuck feelings and thoughts. Body-mind integration brings mental health where allows a flow.
I am a certified Lifespan Integration therapist. I strongly believe in this modality and have seen great results. Lifespan Integration is a mind-body therapy that works at a deep neural level to change patterned responses and outmoded defense strategies in healing traumatic events from the past and integrating your whole self.
If you are ready to be unstuck, please contact me. I will provide free 20 mins phone consultation. You deserve freedom. I am here to support your healing - unstuck journey! 日本語でもご相談ください。
