My work is experiential and body-aware, not just conversational. In addition to insight and reflection, we pay attention to the nervous system, emotions, and patterns that show up in the moment. For some clients this includes somatic work, equine-assisted psychotherapy, or longer sessions and occasional intensives to support deeper healing and integration.
