Holistic Therapy | Integrating Mind, Body & Spirit
Holistic | Mind | Body
I offer a collaborative relationship in a open, compassionate environment using creative techniques tailored for each individual person based on their individual style & goals. My style is eclectic and combines a blend of therapies including Expressive Arts Therapy, Experiential Therapy, Equine Therapy, Mind Body Neural Integration, Lifespan Integration, Jungian Archetypal Therapy, Spiritual Work and Mindfulness Training in order to assist clients in gaining greater awareness & connection with others, themselves and in the world.
I offer a holistic approach, which is characterized by the treatment of the whole person by taking into account mind, body and spirit as well as patterns and experiences, rather than just symptoms. Holistic is defined by comprehension of the parts of something as intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole person. In essence, it is an amalgamation of mind, body & spirit.

Bio
I am a Holistic Psychotherapist integrating neuroscience, mind-body methods, experiential therapies and creative art. I have found expression to be a very important aspect of healing and integration. As a child, I found expression through nature, music, gymnastics, horses, creative art and painting.
I formerly worked as a creative artist, and therefore draw upon techniques from my personal experience integrating art, neuropsychology, experiential and somatic therapies in order to incorporate a holistic approach integrating mind, body and spirit. After a riding accident several years ago, I fractured my back. During the healing process, I was introduced to deeper emotional connection and level of intuitive communication between horses and people, which opened my eyes to Equine Assisted Therapy.
I received my Masters in Counseling Psychology and certification as an Expressive Art Therapist.
I have additional training as a certified Equine Assisted Counselor (E.A.C.) through the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) and as a SMART Addiction Recovery Facilitator.
I have extensive training in trauma, attachment and eating disorder, formerly working at a Residential Eating Disorder and Addiction Program. Additionally, I am a Lifespan Integration Therapist & Approved Consultant and have trained with Dr. Daniel J. Siegel in Interpersonal Neurobiology, Neuroscience & Mindfulness.
“Unresolved issues are mirrored through our relationships. As your life evolves, the need for healing in your own life and in the world around you, can guide you toward a path of hope, healing, and wholeness.”
