Holistic therapy for your mind Body connection.

Book Intro Call Client Portal

You experience your life and your emotions very deeply, but not many people know that side of you. You were often told you were “the sensitive one” growing up, and you learned to hide your feelings, change them, or act like they weren’t there.

Maybe you’ve questioned your own emotions and wondered if something is wrong with you because it doesn’t seem like other people see the world the same way you do. You often feel a sense of frustration toward yourself and get embarrassed about “overreacting” or “caring too much” about things other people don’t seem to have the same reactions to.

On the other hand, you have the gift of really caring about the things that matter to you, and they bring a profound sense of meaning and beauty to your life.

I'm here to help you understand your mind-body connection more clearly so that you can use your sensitivity to your advantage. You might not realize that being highly observant and aware of your feelings gives you a head start in understanding what you need.

Do these describe you?

• You feel big emotions

• Are deeply impacted by situations you see in the news

• Feel a pull toward something more meaningful but you’re not sure what that is yet (or maybe you are!)

• Are aware of injustices in the world and feel a need to help make them right

• Find it difficult to soothe yourself and get out of a thought spiral after seeing or hearing about something upsetting

• Find it both challenging and boring to make small talk and prefer to get to know people on a more ‘real’ level

• Have strong reactions to certain sounds, textures, light, smells, etc.

• You are drawn to activism of some sort- maybe you’re politically active or are an environmentalist, are outspoken about LGBTQIA+ rights, involved in pet rescue/fostering, or are passionate about vegan and animal rights issues, etc.

If these sound like you, I want to meet you!

How does the Mind-Body Connection fit into therapy?

You’ve probably heard that the body knows before the mind does, but what does that mean? I will show you how to connect your mind and body through talk therapy and mindfulness based somatic practices to actually see meaningful changes, and I will help you get unstuck and feeling in control of your life. You have tried to live your life to make others comfortable around you, but it is time to make room for change. I want you to make choices deliberately, I want you to trust yourself, and I want you to end the cycle of of self-criticism.

You might experience racing thoughts, interrupted sleep, and feeling unsettled without understanding why. The clinical terms for these symptoms are stress, anxiety and chronic worrying. I think of it as not knowing how to trust the messages your body is sending you, therefore diminishing your inner knowing. You know when something is wrong, but you’ve been conditioned not to listen to that feeling. No one has had an answer for you because you already have it.
