PSYCHOTHERAPY "Talk Therapy" uses a variety of techniques to identify and address people's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are causing distress or harm. I use an eclectic approach combining EMDR, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and interpersonal therapies in a strengths-based and trauma-focused way to tend to whatever brings you into therapy. I believe in a whole person approach to therapy meaning that you are SO much more than just your "issue" - you are a whole, entire human being and I will treat you as such. The healing journey is a collaborative one and we will work together to choose the best methods and approaches for you.
YOGA THERAPY Yoga Therapy is the specific application of yogic tools and practices (postures, movement, breathwork, meditation, etc.) to address a person's physical, mental, and emotional needs. It combines yoga and therapeutic approaches to deepen awareness and presence with self. Our bodies are where we hold on to our grief and trauma, and Yoga Therapy is a way to connect to these feelings and be present with what's happening now. It's yoga therapy because we use the body to access and understand the mind and behavior - your body is speaking to you.
REIKI Reiki is an alternative medicine that uses hands-on energy healing to transfer Universal energy from the practitioner to the receiver. It is a Japanese technique that can reduce stress, increase relaxation, and promote healing.
MINDFUL GRIEVING YOGA THERAPY GROUPS These groups are run in a virtual setting and span over 6 weeks. The group offers an opportunity to connect and be in your grief with others who are also grieving. Each session begins with a dharma talk on a topic related to grief and is followed by a centering meditation and time to journal. After this there is time to share about your grief and your experience of the dharma talk and meditation. We finish each session with an embodied movement practice (physical yoga practice) and time to integrate and close together.
