APPROACH

The name of my practice is Body Mind Journey.  I carefully chose this name as the body and mind are thoroughly intertwined and, indeed, we are on a journey. This journey of becoming has a past, a present, and a future. As we work to gain greater awareness and connectedness to the self, both our body and mind must be engaged. However, where trauma exists, there is often a sense of feeling overloaded within the body and the idea of connecting both mind and body may feel daunting. Trauma-informed therapy can help titrate these bodily states and can lead to an ability to carefully and safely moderate one's feelings so as to become less overwhelming over time. Ultimately, the goal of trauma-informed therapy is to gain a full sense of self within one's history and one's journey in the world.

I follow a person centered approach and draw from my studies in Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP) which takes a body-mind view to human psychological development. It brings together psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural and systems-oriented principles along with client-centred attitudes in one integrated philosophy.
