I am a firm believer in using an integrative approach tailored to fit your needs, and have experience working with a diverse array of clients.
Have you had a rough year? Is “rough” an enormous understatement? Loneliness, money worries, fretting over what the future holds... You’re not alone in feeling a bit lost, down, and anxious, considering everything that’s happened in just this past year. But just by reading this, you’ve taken an incredibly important step. You’ve taken a step towards personal growth and increased well-being, and you deserve all of the support you can get along the way. I would love to meet you, and together, we can come up with a plan to make our time as beneficial as it can be for you.

As a breathwork facilitator, trained in two powerful forms of somatic, experiential psychotherapies designed to promote deep connection to Self and others, I enjoy working with holistic, integrative modalities that deepen our mind-body connection.
Are you looking to slow things down inside when your world seems never to stop? In order to shift anything, one must reach, with a gentle touch, the parts of ourselves that are able to transform. I passionately hold that we could all use a way to slow down our rapidly evolving lives—a way to hold space for what drives us forward, or slows us down in ways we’d like to speed up. Therapy is a space to peel back layers to help you move toward being fully expressed, in steady, easy participation with your life—even with its inevitable ups and downs and the in-between spaces.

Integrative Therapists

What is integrative therapy?

Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.

How does integrative therapy work?

Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behavior patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.

How long does integrative therapy last?

As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.

How effective is integrative therapy?

There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
