Treatment Approaches
~ HEALTH THERAPIES~
There are many approaches that can be helpful when dealing with emotional, mental or physical issues. What is helpful for one person may not be helpful for another. Different perspectives or methods can work at different points during therapy for the same individual. Thus, I have learned to avoid trying to fit a method to the client. If you can imagine an old fashioned doctor with a medicine bag ~ well, that’s sort of what we have at our disposal ~ many options and combinations that can help one get to the core of what’s going on. My approach is intuitive, collaborative, gentle and respectful.
The methods I use to help with this process are...
Mindfulness Breathwork Talk therapy
Mind/body communication and healing techniques
Massage Therapy Energy healing Hakomi
Family Constellations Medication management
As a nurse, it’s natural for me to consider environment, stress levels, stress reactions, nutrition, sleep hygiene, activities, physical health, social support, relationships, and spirituality.
