PAIN REPROCESSING THERAPY
Many forms of chronic pain are not caused by physical or structural problems in the body but by the misfiring of pain circuits in the brain. Pain Reprocessing therapy is a mind-body therapy for disrupting the pain-fear cycle and retraining the brain to feel safe.
-
ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY
ART is a creative, evidence-based therapy designed for the rapid resolution of anxiety, trauma, and stress using bilateral eye movements and memory reconsolidation. ART allows you to neutralize triggers and rehearse success in the virtual reality of your mind.
-
EMOTIONAL AWARENESS
Expressive arts are a powerful way to experience, express and release emotions, resolve emotional conflicts, and access inner wisdom. Expressive arts for mind-body healing incorporate collaging, drawing, creative journaling, poetry, and other forms of inner child healing and right-brain play.
-
SCHEMA THERAPY
Schema therapy is a Cognitive Behavior Therapy informed by attachment theory and inner parts work that helps you break maladaptive patterns keeping you stuck. Learn to manage Maladaptive Coping Modes, limit the Dysfunctional Critic Modes, strengthen your Healthy Adult, and connect with your Happy Child.
-
MINDFULNESS-BASED THERAPY
Mindfulness is paying attention nonjudgmentally to what’s happening right now with your emotions, thoughts, sensations, and automatic reactions. Mindfulness skills help you see yourself and the world in calm, clear, and fresh ways so that you can access your creative wisdom to respond.
-
ECOTHERAPY/WALK AND TALK
Take your therapy outdoors and discover surprising insights and inspired solutions while practicing mindfulness in nature and being grounded in your body. Research shows nature-based, “walk and talk” therapy offers mental and physical health benefits simultaneously.
I provide chronic pain and anxiety therapy based on mind-body healing techniques and a whole-health approach to wellness.
MIND
I am a certified Pain Reprocessing Therapy Practitioner (Advanced Application) and Pain Coach. PRT is an evidence-based neuroplasticity therapy for chronic pain and illness that rewires neural pathways involved in the pain-fear-avoidance cycle.
Cognitive behavior therapy, schema therapy, and mindfulness therapy are additional brain-based tools available to support your cognitive health.
We will explore your thoughts, beliefs, and the quality of awareness you bring to situations. You will learn to challenge negative thought patterns, let go of false beliefs and internalized voices, and build healthy attitudes and cognitive flexibility.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy and SoulCollage® are creative modalities supporting cognitive change at the level of images, metaphors, and stories.
BODY
Your body and emotions are highly sensitive detectors of wellness and dis-ease. I incorporate somatic therapy to help you create and sustain habits that are aligned with your values, health, and wellness.
Pain Reprocessing Therapy or Pain Coaching teaches you how to Disarm the Alarm and Activate Safety by turning toward sensations and emotions through a lens of safety, humor, and positive affect. Accelerated Resolution Therapy helps process and resolve troubling emotions and sensations stored in the body related to stress and trauma.
We will also explore somatic meditation, grounding, emotional freedom technique, and many other “bottom-up” approaches for supporting your physical and emotional health, including nature connection and ecotherapy.
SOUL
A soul-centered approach to healing invites you to examine that which sparks joy, meaning, and creative expression.
I invite an array of expressive arts into the therapeutic adventure. Through right-brain play, you will get to know your inner wisdom and authentic inner voice and discover your unique resilience and resourcefulness via SoulCollage®, creative journaling, drawing, dreamwork, and more.
We will dive into topics of passion, play, and purpose. We will pay special attention to your dreams and creative stirrings. We will explore the soul-tending practices of working with breakage and repair and coming to know “survival as a creative act.”
Face Everything and Rise. Are you ready to get started?
