Yoga & Mind-Body Practices

Supporting healing from the inside out

As a psychologist, I recognize that emotional healing often involves more than just talking—it involves the body, too. Yoga and other mind-body practices can be powerful adjuncts to psychotherapy, helping to regulate the nervous system, build self-awareness, and reconnect with a sense of safety and agency.

Whether you’re managing anxiety, recovering from trauma, or simply seeking more balance in your life, these practices are offered with care, intention, and clinical insight.

Why Mind-Body Work?

Our bodies hold experiences long after our minds have moved on.

Many clients find that incorporating body-based practices into their therapeutic process helps

Release chronic tension and stress
Improve emotional regulation
Increase body awareness and self-compassion
Feel more grounded and present
Access insights that are beyond words

Mind-body work is especially
helpful for those navigating

Trauma and PTSD
Anxiety and panic
Depression
Chronic pain or fatigue
Disconnection from the body (dissociation, numbness, shame)

What to Expect

Sessions may include:

Gentle, accessible movement (no yoga experience necessary)
Breathwork and grounding techniques
Guided body scans or mindfulness practices
Psychoeducation about the nervous system and somatic responses
Integration with talk therapy when appropriate

These offerings are always tailored to your needs and comfort level.
This is not a fitness class—it’s a therapeutic space where your internal experience is the focus

Who It’s For

Mind-body practices can benefit anyone,
but may be especially supportive for:

Clients feeling “stuck” in talk therapy
Individuals who have difficulty identifying or expressing emotions
People in trauma recovery
Those seeking more embodied self-awareness and resilience

You don’t have to be flexible. You don’t need fancy gear.
You just need curiosity and a willingness to explore gently.
