Mental discomfort arises from anxiety within your bodymind. Using tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, nutritional science and somatic psychology, you are able to rebalance your unique system of body, mind and soul. Methods are relational and focus on non-pharmaceutical interventions, because while drugs may mitigate symptoms for awhile, they rarely cure and often make things worse.
Bodymind Counseling is about looking at life a new way. About learning to care for yourself, clearing your mind of misconceptions and knee-jerk reactivity. You’ll uncover old dysfunctional patterns your subconscious takes as it manifests your personality and behaviors in your daily life. At your own pace, you alter them to live with more contentment and success. But most important, you learn better ways to handle normal everyday anxiety, so you self regulate to be more present and caring in relationship with yourself and others.
