Holistic Therapy for the Heart and Soul
While our life experience may influence who we've become,
it does not define who we can be.
Whether you are seeking individual therapy to tackle depression, reduce anxiety, or heal from trauma, holistic therapy may be right for you. Or perhaps you want couples therapy to address a moment of crisis in your relationship or improve communication? Holistic couples therapy can help you deepen your connection.
Therapy is not simply about crisis and coping. It is also about moving through the pain and limitations from our past experiences and fully stepping into our lives with excitement, passion and fire.
You've taken the first step towards healing by looking for a therapist, now take the next and contact me for a free 30 minute consultation to see how we might work together to achieve your goals. Let's begin your journey of growth and healing now.
What is holistic therapy?
The Greeks defined "holos" as that which is whole or complete. In holistic therapy, we begin with the recognition that the client indeed is whole and complete.
Together, therapist and client work to excavate the wounds and learned defenses preventing a full flowering of that wholeness. We focus on body, mind and spirit to heal the stuck or damaged places.
Who benefits?
Holistic therapy has much to offer couples who want to strengthen their relationship, individuals seeking recovery from anxiety, depression or other blockages that stand in their way, and those on a personal or spiritual growth path who long to cultivate their fire.
Finding your fire
The Ohlone people of California tell the story of how the hummingbird brought fire to heal the world after the waters of the ocean buried the land under the sea. It is a story that for me epitomizes the difficult but beautiful work we do together in holistic therapy.
Fire is about passion and purpose. Fire lights our way and burns through all the blockages--uncertainty, sadness, fear--that stand in our path. In holistic therapy, our work together is to rediscover and reclaim your fire.
