I am here to help you develop coping skills and find choices to move forward in your life. When we go to therapy feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed, it is often because something in the mind/body/spirit system needs rebalancing. In Holistic Therapy, you are seen as a whole person, and your symptoms are clues of system distress, or dis-ease.
It is common for many in the U.S. to disconnect from these signs of our body's upset. For instance, imagine someone inundated, and trying to manage work and home life. For stress headaches, they take Aspirin, which eats the gut, so they eat antacids like candy. By treating only symptoms, they ignore the stomach and head's signals of dis-ease, causing more problems.

I can help you understand your strengths, develop coping skills, and bring some order into your life. When I was younger, I always eased my inner chaos making art, reading self help books, and journal writing. I also serially attended schools, where I found purpose and structure. Art making slowly became a more conscious coping tool as I processed emotions from my cancer surgery, the treatments, and my subsequent lymphedema.
Integrative therapy helps align your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to increase the sensation of wholeness and balance in your life. Usually, when we come to therapy; anxiety, depression, or certain physical concerns have increased enough to reflect a disruption in our mind/body system; causing upset in our sense of wellbeing.
Although it may feel like it, you are not alone in this struggle. Did you know that 15 million people in the U.S., or about 7% (from the ages of 18-45), suffer with symptoms of depression? The good news is that depression is treatable. And, having depression doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't develop because someone is weak or bad.
You are smart, creative, and funny. Despite your degree, you may believe you got through school, and now maybe work, on luck. No matter how intelligent you are; Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) can cause enormous amounts of shame, stress, and anxiety; as well as low esteem, and even depression. I get it, and I can help.
Life can be hard for everyone, at one time or another. But, because many people look like they have it together, you may not notice their anxiety, and feel isolated in your struggles. You are not alone. In fact, anxiety is so common in the U.S. that approximately 18% of our population, or 40 million people (between 18-54 years old) report having anxiety.
