Mental discomfort arises from anxiety within your bodymind. Using the latest neurocounseling and somatic psychology techniques, you and I identify past and present stressors, so you can balance your emotions. Through learning how to respond, not react, you gain inner composure. You will relate more successfully and physical health often improves! Methods are relational and focus on non-pharmaceutical interventions, because while drugs may mitigate symptoms for awhile, they rarely cure and may make things worse. It’s about learning to look at life a new way, about integrating a better way of being in the world through self regulating bodymind. Ready to grow into a new you?
