Body-Mind Therapy

Body-Mind Therapy is an integrative approach to personal growth and healing. It honors and recognizes that body, mind, emotions, and spirit are one inter-connected whole, and that to foster optimum health and healing, it is necessary to work with and address all of these elements of our being.
The Body-Mind Therapy work that I offer engages your whole being—body, mind, emotions, and spirit—through inner dialoguing with parts using Internal Family Systems, hands-on energywork, and a range of other holistic therapeutic modalities.
This approach helps you learn how to deeply listen to your whole self, and explore how your body, mind, and emotions affect each other. Working in this holistic way fosters deeper and more lasting change by enabling you to reach all the different layers and aspects of your symptoms and concerns, and address previously unrecognized and unexplored elements.
It's a powerful, transformational process that can catalyze profound growth and change. Come discover how healing happens by deeply listening to and honoring your whole self!

The Components of Body-Mind Therapy
Internal Family Systems
This powerful therapeutic modality combines self-compassion and inner dialogue to work with our Core Self and inner "parts" for transformational healing. Internal Family Systems is one of the most effective therapeutic approaches I've found, and it is the primary approach I use during all of my sessions.
Energywork
Explores and addresses the underlying energetic patterns of your concerns, using Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Polarity Therapy—gentle yet powerful forms of therapeutic bodywork that engage and shift the energies of your body.
Guided Visualization and Imagery
Uses the power of visualization and imagery to connect with your inner self and to focus healing energy. Visualization and imagery are effective ways to engage the healing power of the mind.
Movement and Sound
Enables you to connect with and shift issues and energies that may otherwise be hard to access. Specific exercises may be used in session or done at home to support your on-going process.
Awareness and Mindfulness
Increases your ability to recognize and acknowledge, with kindness and compassion, what is really happening for you in the moment—with your self, your life, your concerns, or your symptoms.
Resource building
Helps you reconnect with and build on the strength, wisdom, health, and deep healing resources that are an inherent part of your whole being. Includes work with grounding, centering, and boundaries.
Other Integrative Approaches
A variety of other holistic therapeutic approaches may be brought into sessions depending on client preference and focus, including Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning, Somatic Trauma Resolution, Inner Relationship Focusing, Brainspotting, Comprehensive Resource Model, EFT meridian tapping, Family Constellations, and the creative expression of InterPlay.

What to Expect from a Body-Mind Therapy Session
A session may contain one or more of the above components, and may be done sitting in a chair, moving around the room, or lying fully clothed on a bodywork table. We move fluidly between the different components as needed, and each session is unique. The emphasis is on listening to you, honoring your whole being, and working together to explore what you wish to address. In addition, you will learn concrete skills that you can use at home to continue your process of growth and self-discovery.
