I utilize a holistic approach, treating mind, body and spirit that is based in cognitive behavioral theory, which focuses on thoughts and how irrational thoughts can lead to dysfunctional behavior. In therapy we spend time identifying these thoughts and behavioral patterns and then by changing the thoughts, promote a change in behavior.
I've found it's helpful to focus on behaviors that support one's spirit. I help clients to develop mindfulness practices that require one to stay in the moment and to focus on the now. Often we focus too much on the past or feel too anxious about the future. Learning to stay in the here and now often decreases anxieties and increases clarity and balance.
Essential supports to my approach are my partnering with other practitioners to promote and sustain healing. I work with personal trainers and yoga instructors to strengthen the body. When the body is weak this has a huge impact on our psychological well being and when it's strong we are better able to deal with life's challenges. Nutritional support is also incorporated where appropriate. I work with nutritionists to create a dietary plan that supports mental and physical well being.
