Depending on what state the patient resides in, I meet in person or virtually. I generally can see a new patient within a week. My approach is very gentle while also holding space for the client, allowing what needs to emerge and processed to emerge while we explore it together. I follow the client's lead, who is an expert on who they are. I view myself as a space holder trusting that what needs to unfold will do so at the right time, and when the client is ready. The client feels compassionately witnessed during the process of self healing, exploration and growth. I use motivational interviewing techniques to explore what comes up, along with other therapy modalities listed above. Including the body, breathing, rituals, lifestyle (which include diet, sleep and relationships) are also important elements I take into account if they client feels that they are important to them also.
