I am honored to be able to offer both of these psychotherapy treatments to my clients. I often have clients ask about which one would be better for them and we talk about their symptoms, their therapy goals, and the differences between BSP and EMDR.

The Holiday PAUSE: Joy, Cheer, Stress, Grief, and Loneliness

The holidays can get busy, running from events to stores to school concerts, they can bring cheer and joy, and they can bring stress, grief, and loneliness.

One of the best ways that I have found to handle big emotions is the resource-based conscious movement practice of Open Floor International. It provides connection, support, and allows your body to regulate. PAUSE is one of Open Floor International’s core movement resources.

Why “Let’s Begin to Heal” in Relation to the Pandemic Won’t Work and 9 Practices That Will Help!

I keep hearing in relation to the pandemic, and especially in educational settings, let’s begin to heal, or let’s start the healing process. It strikes me as odd given that in the therapy world, it’s known that we are not able to heal trauma if we are still in it. And unfortunately, for us and our children, we are still in the pandemic. The uncertainty and loss of control continue as we do not know what is ahead?

Times have been tough. We all need each other more than ever. Our children are counting on us, watching us, learning how to navigate hard times. Here are 9 things to practice during this extended stressful time.

How To MANAGE STRESS + ALL THE THINGS ON YOUR PLATE BETTER!

We are unwell as a cultural and I’m convinced part of the issue is our busyness and this MORE, BIGGER, BETTER attitude.

2-for-1 Mental Well-Being!

It’s common that I have clients show up for therapy with stress related concerns. Often these folks feel overwhelmed with all their daily responsibilities, and they come to therapy for “tools, coping skills, or strategies” so that they can manage the same number of things, but better!
