Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I have been practitioner of mindfulness for myself for the last 15 years. I have taught mindfulness to 4 year old to 80 year old clients. One of my purposes of using this type of therapy in my practice is to assist my clients in finding some peace and contentment in their daily lives even in times of difficulties. I find practicing balances and grounds me and my clients who choose to take up the practice. It works for trauma related, anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Mind-body approach
I have studied many different approaches to the mind-body connection, from what we put in our bodies, how we express or not express our emotions, to our thought patterns- all affect our bodily functions and our lives on a daily basis. Having an understanding of how the body and mind work together assists my clients to shift to a healthier perspective in their work to find healing.
Integrative
I have been trained in multiple disciplines, including dual diagnosis, children, parenting and adults. I use eclectic modalities in my practice including CBT, Trauma- based therapy, body-mind therapies and mindfulness. I am certified as a facilitator for MBSR-T (Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction for Teens).
