Provider information
Description
I primarily work using solutions-based approach, and look at where my client's life is, and see where they want to go. I work with them, to help them draw a "map," on how to get there. Sometimes, this may mean interventions on day-to-day life routines (such as ways to organize their home, or identifying steps to start a business). Other times, I may use more body-based, somatic interventions, to develop skills in emotional regulation, to release old emotions, and - when the client is ready - to release trauma from the body. It all depends on the client.

Summary
We primarily work using a solutions-based approach and look at where our client's life is, and where they want to go. We work with them to help them draw a "map" for how to get there. Sometimes, this may involve interventions in day-to-day life routines (such as organizing their home or identifying steps to start a business). Other times, we may use more body-based, somatic interventions to develop skills in emotional regulation, release old emotions, and—when the client is ready—help release trauma from the body. It all depends on the client.
