Approach
The Work
My approach draws from psychotherapy, yoga therapy, somatic inquiry, mindfulness, and the philosophical traditions of yoga — woven together in a way that is responsive to your unique needs, history, and intentions.
Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy is an individualized approach that uses the practices and philosophy of yoga to support healing and well being. Rather than focusing on physical postures alone, yoga therapy draws upon breath, meditation, mindful movement, relaxation, and self inquiry to help restore balance within the nervous system and cultivate greater awareness.
Together we explore practices that support your unique needs, helping you settle the fluctuations of the mind and body, establish steadiness and ease, and return to a more grounded relationship with yourself.
Somatic Work
The body remembers what the mind cannot always explain. Somatic work invites us to slow down and listen to the wisdom of the lived body through sensation, breath, posture, movement, and felt experience.
As we develop a deeper sense of embodied presence, we begin to recognize patterns that may exist outside conscious awareness. Rather than trying to change ourselves through insight alone, we learn to remain in compassionate relationship with what arises. This creates the possibility for healing, resilience, and lasting transformation.
Integrative Therapy
Healing is rarely one dimensional. Integrative therapy recognizes that each person brings a unique history, nervous system, relationships, and way of experiencing the world.
My work weaves together psychotherapy, yoga therapy, somatic inquiry, mindfulness, contemplative practice, and Internal Family Systems in a way that is responsive to your needs rather than following a single method. The intention is to create greater coherence between body, psyche, and spirit while supporting meaningful and sustainable change.
Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma informed care recognizes that difficult experiences shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world. Rather than asking "What is wrong with you?" we begin with a different question: "What has happened to you, and how has your experience shaped the ways you have learned to survive?"
Safety, choice, collaboration, and respect are central to this work. Together we develop the capacity to stay present with experience without becoming overwhelmed, supporting a gradual return to connection, resilience, and the wisdom of your own body.
