A thorough, integrated, and holistic approach to healing and wellness should address the mind and body as a whole. The mind and body are deeply interconnected. Stress accounts for up to 90 percent of visits to the doctor. It's estimated that 90 percent of serotonin in your body is made in your gut. So it makes sense that in order to treat stress and anxiety, we need to consider both mind and body and lifestyle options like nutrition, physical exercise, and evidence-based botanical and herbal supplements.

Self-compassion has enormous healing power. Self-criticism and negative thinking cause downward spirals. A little self-compassion can go a long way and lead to more positive thinking and experiences, a phenomenon scientists call "upward spirals" of thinking. Therapy is an example of a place where you can learn to approach yourself with kindness and patience and catch yourself from falling into a downward spiral.

Intergenerational trauma and early experiences can shape us and how we see and interact with the world. Early childhood and generations of family experiences can be passed down in ways we do not initially realize. These influences can deeply impact the self, identity, and relationship dynamics at work and at home. Identifying these patterns is the key to being free from them.

Awareness catalyzes positive action. Psychodynamic psychotherapy and mindfulness practices are a powerful combination. This integrated method of psychotherapy develops your ability to be attentive and aware without judgment and expands your ability to meet challenges in a new and intentional way. We will identify your programmed conditioned patterns and rewrite a new narrative.

Self-empowerment and agency are key to reaching your full potential. We will aim to nurture self-empowerment and inner strength to fulfill your vision of the future. Self-confidence, self-esteem, and envisioning are important components to catalyze and improve both your personal and professional life.

Therapies, including the modalities of psychotherapy, nutritional supplements, movement practices like yoga, and mindfulness, should be tailored to the individual and moment to moment.
Every person is unique, so there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach. We work together to figure out a path that is right for you. This can evolve and change moment to moment.

It's just as important to focus on your strengths as well as the areas that you would like to improve— often what used to work for you, may not be serving you now. Traditional medicine often focuses on things that are going wrong. But it is essential to identify and recognize your strengths and ability to adapt and evolve, so that you can move forward and envision the life you want to live.

My philosophy is to work together in a collaborative way to create deep change. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process that is cocreated. We will put our heads and hearts together.
