Holistic Psychotherapy:
A Path to your optimal self
When you think about your experience of anxiety, relationship stress or trouble focusing at work, have you considered how your lifestyle could be contributing to these issues?
Imagine a therapy experience that not only looks at the collection of symptoms you are experiencing, but can take into consideration all of the areas that make up your life!
Holistic psychotherapy offers a unique and transformative path to healing where mind, body and spirit get the respective focus they deserve.
Are you ready to embark on a journey that embraces your entire self?
A Holistic Approach to Your Wellbeing
In addition to being a Licensed Marriage and family therapist, I am also a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional, which means my holistic approach to mental health considers the interplay of mind, body, and spirit.
This unique addition to traditional talk therapy methods allows me to not only focus on symptoms; but seek to understand and treat you as the whole person you are.
This integrative mental health approach recognizes that emotional, physical, nutritional, and lifestyle areas are all deeply interconnected.

What Can I Expect from Holistic Psychotherapy?
When you embark on a journey with holistic goals in psychotherapy, you can expect a personalized and compassionate experience.
I will work collaboratively with you to explore various aspects of your life, including thoughts, emotions, physical health, sleep, relationships, and spiritual beliefs to name a few.
If you have received therapy in the past, I may ask some questions that you haven’t been asked before by a mental health professional- that is my holistic lens at work, attempting to gain a better understanding of areas of your life you may not immediately make connections with which may be contributing to your distress.
This process is designed to help you gain deeper insights into your experiences and behavior as well as develop a greater sense of self-awareness.
In holistic therapy, we may engage in a variety of practices that complement traditional talk therapy. These might include mindfulness exercises, meditation, breathwork, guided visualization and more. The goal is to empower you to heal and grow on multiple levels, fostering resilience and a more balanced life.
Your journey to holistic well-being begins here. Are you ready to explore the possibilities?
Holistic support sound great, but you’re not sure if you’re ready for that?
No worries!
If holistic integration sounds overwhelming at this moment, or is not something you are interested in being a part of your therapeutic journey-that’s okay.
If talk therapy is the place you want to begin on your path, that is where we will begin. Holistic integration is something I offer and believe in, but I do not force or require holistic goals to be a part of your treatment.
Constructing treatment goals together to get you where you want to be in your healing journey is my first priority, and I’m honored to support you where you are.
