  • The focus is on being able to manage the body and its experience with our mind before we touch our thoughts.  Often people can create defenses that include overthinking, perfectionism, hyper learning, and intellectualizing to manage their symptoms.  Understanding what we’re going through is incredibly important and does not assist with the way our body experiences the increases in long term stress.  Bottom up means starting with the body, and allowing the mind to follow.

  • I am not able to prescribe medication.  If you are in need for support with medications we will collaborate, and look for a prescriber together.

  • I do not work with Couples or Families.  A part of treatment may include a family meeting to support you in understanding how your family can support you in your journey, as well as give them the opportunity to ask questions.  Again, this is a choice that you get to make.  A lot of people choose to not include their families in treatment, both ways are valid.
