What Happens During a Typical Session?

An individual session might look like a typical “talk” psychotherapy session, with gentle attention to your body. I might ask you to “check in” and feel what is happening in your body as you speak, to help you to become more aware of how you are processing information. Sometimes it’s as simple as paying attention to your breath; other times you might feel an impulse to investigate a gesture or movement. Sometime you might find that you can experience stillness as a way to move forward in your life.

Nothing is expected of you in a session, except to know that you want to work toward health. We might start simply by talking about how it feels to be in your body, or perhaps talk about how it feels to avoid it! I work with each client’s comfort level and coping style to facilitate the best strategy for improving health by balancing thoughts, emotions and bodily-felt sensations.
