Holistic & Integrative Approach
At kres counseling, my approach to women’s mental health and coaching is rooted in creating a safe, collaborative space. Together, we will tackle the unique challenges that lead to burnout, anxiety, and overwhelm. Whether you need clinical therapy for women navigating heavy life transitions, or mindset coaching to break free from perfectionism and build strong boundaries, I tailor my holistic methods to your unique story.
Enter a space of healing where mind, body, and spirit align to promote growth, connection, and resilience.
As a licensed professional counselor and somatic psychotherapist my approach is to help you make connections between the information your body is giving you (tension in the neck and shoulders, shortness of breath, bellyaches) and what you are thinking and feeling. Culturally, in North America we have been taught to bypass our physical experience and focus on cognitive development, but what we think is often the source of our suffering.
Navigating Life Transitions,
moving from overwhelmed to empowered
You don’t have to believe everything you think, and you don’t have to be in a state of hyperarousal, or completely shut down. These are workable issues and my intention is to empower you to change your experience in the moment. Using a combination of simple somatic techniques (orienting to your environment, becoming aware of breath and slowly, safely adjusting it), Brainspotting, narrative therapy, connecting to what makes you feel alive, or any other tools we may want to incorporate, we will practice living in a more liberated way, where you experience moments as places of choice and opportunity, not as rote or reactive.
My therapeutic approach is filled with compassion and understanding for why you may have developed strong coping mechanisms (disordered eating, over-identifying work as identity, being defensive, fill in the blank) that are no longer serving you; there is no judgment in this space. There is endless opportunity when you show up and desire change. I believe that you can live a more expansive and embodied life and I have the tools to share with you to help you achieve your goals.
My therapeutic approach is filled with compassion and understanding, traits we often struggle to apply to our own challenges. I am passionate about my evolution as a psychotherapist and devote time and energy to continuing education in neuroscience and psychology. There is such an opportunity for empowerment through psychotherapy; I hope you will allow yourself the opportunity to learn and grow in this way.
