what holistic therapy means here

my approach is warm, collaborative and direct. i draw from CBT, DBT-informed, ACT and attachment-based approaches to help clients understand what is driving their patterns and how to shift them in real time.

i also integrate my background in holistic nutrition and fitness to take a mind-body approach, looking at how the nervous system impacts sleep, movement and lifestyle, helping clients also feel better in their day-to-day.

nervous system

Chronic stress and overwhelm dysregulate your stress response. I use evidence-based nervous system tools alongside lifestyle support to help your body shift out of chronic survival mode.

nutrition

Blood sugar stability, key nutrients, and gut health directly affect attention, energy, and emotional regulation. As a CNP, I can help identify what may be amplifying your symptoms nutritionally.

sleep

Sleep architecture affects emotional regulation, focus, and recovery. We look at it as part of the work, not an afterthought.

movement & lifestyle

Movement is one of the most evidence-based tools for mood, focus, and stress, we treat it as a therapeutic tool, not just a health recommendation.

where this approach shines

the same integrated lens carries across anxiety, ADHD, burnout, and life transitions, especially when traditional talk therapy hasn't quite reached the issue.

curious whether this approach fits?

the free 15-minute consult is a simple, no-pressure place to start.
