Are you seeking therapy to make a change in your life? You will find that my curious and interactive style will not only heal current symptoms, but also reach those deeper roots.
What we know now is that years of suffering and trauma are not only stored in the brain as painful memories but they’re also held in the body as physical symptoms. Part of our work is for you to learn how your body has adapted to stress and hurt over the years and also how to unlearn these adaptations.
Your next step is to schedule your free 15-minute consultation.

How does Integrative Therapy help trauma and anxiety?
As a psychotherapist, I bring techniques from different approaches to meet your unique needs and make it especially helpful to you in navigating trauma and anxiety.
For trauma, we might use psychodynamic therapy to explore how your past influences your present. Based on what comes up, I might bring in vagal toning techniques from Somatic Therapy to calm your nervous system or mindfulness to help you feel safe in your body.
For anxiety, a structured approach like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) may work to reframe negative thoughts, but sometimes they don’t address your feelings. That’s where Integrative Therapy comes in. We might use distress tolerance skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to deal with difficult emotions or unpack the deeper roots of your anxiety with a combination of techniques for understanding and insights about who you are.
The beauty of Integrative Therapy is that it’s flexible. It evolves based on what you need at any given time, I help my clients feel more in control, more connected, and more confident.
Heal at a deep level. For the past twenty years, I have found that if you want to live a more fulfilled life, it’s vital to think about the mind-body as a unit of information and intelligence, where, when you shift something in the body, you automatically shift something in the mind.
My intention as a therapist is to help you not “adapt” to pain and suffering. I would much rather help you “accept” the possibility that you have options, ones that bring you closer to more resilience and wellbeing.
Morever, information and tools can support you in that journey.
