Alternative Healing

I have a longstanding belief in the wisdom of a wide variety of treatment approaches and am committed to incorporating them into my clinical work. While more traditional forms of talk therapy facilitate invaluable insight, symptom relief, emotional release and behavioral change, I have witnessed how alternative approaches can augment therapeutic impact and activate more potent change. For example, Eastern (mind-body), holistic, somatic and indigenous healing methods help us transcend the intellect and create opportunities for deeper release.

My personal journey has solidified my belief in the life-affirming power of movement, energetics and native treatment approaches. My alternative healing exposure and training include somatic energy work, mood regulation through yoga, Qi Gong and Tai Ji, various forms of dance, and basic and contemporary Shamanism. In 2014, I completed my Sattva Yoga Teacher Training in India (RYT, 200), an integrative and holistic practice rooted in ancient wisdom traditions. I have studied mindfulness and meditation for years and maintain a steady personal meditation practice.

Experiences with a wide range of healing and growth modalities allow me to meet clients right where they are -- with presence, openness, compassion and confidence in the power of our work together.
