I'm an integrative experiential therapist. This means I draw from multiple therapy models and weave them into a thoughtful, cohesive approach. What makes the work experiential is that we're focused on here and now awareness of embodied experiences. We're not only identifying patterns and talking about change, we're communicating with your system in the languages that it understands best.
The approaches I draw from share a core understanding that we already carry many of the resources needed for healing. When we create the right conditions in therapy—safety, curiosity, compassion, and attuned connection—the brain and nervous system are remarkably capable of reorganizing themselves!
Many of the patterns that shape how we react, relate, and understand ourselves are held in deeper systems connected to emotion and implicit memory. These patterns don't shift through insight alone. For meaningful change to occur, they need to be activated within a safe and attuned relationship. Experiential approaches help engage these emotional and sensory processes, allowing new patterns to emerge and more flexible ways of responding to develop.
