Greetings Folks. I am a practicing yogi and am currently finishing up my 800-IAYT yoga therapist certification. I have been licensed as a supervising counselor for 26 years. I am a 3rd-year doctoral student in the counselor education program at the University of Cincinnati. My area of specialization is trauma. I have multiple certifications: Polyvagal-informed practice, IFS-informed practice, MCBT, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, EMDR & Traumatic Stress Studies.
I believe that therapy is best conducted from a holistic approach. We think, feel, and act our way to a better tomorrow. I often encourage clients to weave yoga, nervous system regulation techniques, exercise, and mindfulness-based journaling into the therapeutic process.
Hopefully, the outcome is to feel better, to let go of some of the anchors that keep us mired in the past. Ideally, I'd suppose that we become more fully engaged in the experience of life now or at least a bit better at weathering the storms of life. Life is always going to have rainy seasons. We really can learn to dance in the rain.
