During sessions, I strive to meet you where you are at in your journey. We will work together to create a unique treatment plan that best suits you, helping you achieve your goal. I use a variety of modalities that focus on helping the body and mind feel safe. When we experience chronic stress, events that were overwhelming or trauma, our bodies can take the toll. My practice focuses on the whole person and looks at various ways of bringing relief to your presenting symptoms.
Using a mind-body approach can help elevate the emotional suffering that we can experience when we are struggling. While we will focus on the addictive behaviours, we will also look at the helping you understand and heal from the reason that the addictive behaviours started from. As Gabor Matés states "not why the addiction but why the pain?"
A mind-body approach can help you develop coping strategies, regulate your Autonomic Nervous System, reduce physiological symptoms, activate social engagement systems, develop better relationships, improve boundaries, promote resilience, reduce depression & anxiety symptoms and more.
