Why Integrative Mental Health Matters in Therapy

In my practice, this philosophy translates into a person-centered approach that considers your unique needs, preferences, and life circumstances. Instead of focusing only on a diagnosis or “what’s wrong,” the goal is to help you move toward greater balance and overall well-being. In other words, therapy isn’t just about symptom management—it’s about helping you feel more whole, grounded, and connected.

To do this, I combine traditional psychotherapy methods like EMDR, EFT, DBT, and Internal Family Systems with integrative practices such as mindfulness, guided imagery, somatic awareness, auricular acupuncture (5NP protocol), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). My doctoral work in Mind-Body Medicine continues to inform and deepen this approach, allowing me to draw on both the latest research and long-standing holistic practices. Together, these methods create multiple pathways for healing—whether by calming the nervous system, easing stress in the body, or helping you process emotions in a supportive way.

At its heart, integrative mental health is about harmonizing the complex system of mind, body, and spirit. When this connection is nurtured, clients often find not only relief from symptoms but also new clarity, resilience, and compassion for themselves. If you’re looking for a space that supports your whole self, integrative mental health care can be a meaningful step toward lasting healing.
