Am I the right therapist for you?

Are you open to a holistic approach?

Are you ready to engage with your physical experiences in sensations, feelings, movement, breath, and attention with curiosity, courage, and compassion?

Are you willing to explore the whole picture of your life?

Patterns of body, energy, and mind influence our current way of being in the world. They have a momentum, and in order to interrupt unhelpful patterns, it helps to be able to acknowledge where you are and how you got here. Your habits, relationships, beliefs, life choices are all aspects of how your body-mind energy lives in this world. It all matters.

Are you willing to consider how you contribute to your struggle?

It is very important that we acknowledge and grieve what was done to us, what we suffered, and what we lost when others were responsible. 


Yet the invitation, when we're ready, is to compassionately meet ourselves where we keep ourselves stuck.


With curiosity, acceptance of limitations, and giving up the demand that Life be different - this is how we let go of ways we hold on to pain. Are you ready?

Are you OK with occasionally being uncomfortable?

Growth can be difficult. It means being able to stretch past our comfort zones.


I see challenging clients to grow beyond  limitations as part of my role. I tend to be very direct in my communications, though I am warm and supportive. Not everyone is comfortable with that. 

Are you engaging in heavy substance use?

Longterm daily substance use alters our ability to be present and experience things with greater clarity. I understand that sometimes this is necessary for survival.


If this is at the center of your coping, I recommend addressing this through substance use programs available locally. Sometimes I will work with a client in active substance use if they are seeing another provider who is assisting them. I assess on an individual basis.

Are you willing to practice between sessions?

Insight is great, but it is not enough to effect change.Our brains learn through interval repetition. In order to change, we have to actually practice new skills. 

Are you able to commit to consistent therapy for at least six months?

Change is reinforced by consistency. To grow you have to show up.
