My approach to therapy

My approach is mind-body and root cause focused and customized to needs of the client. This could look like explorative talk therapy, somatic or neurobiology-based approaches (where trauma lives in the body), or structured sessions around optimizing, learning new coping skills or strategies to improve symptoms, or understanding patterns keeping you stuck.

What you can expect from me

Treatment is customized to needs, learning style, and goals of the client.
