Consultation

What I treat

• Trauma and post-traumatic stress
• Anxiety
• Depression, including when other treatments haven't worked
• Insomnia and exhaustion with no clear cause
• Times of change: who you are, where you come from, where you're going

What happened can't be changed. What we can work with is what stayed in your body.

Two people can live through the same thing and come out different. When something stays unresolved, the nervous system stays on guard: you sleep badly, you startle, you're irritable, you avoid places or situations. Understanding it helps, but the body keeps watch. That's why the work involves the body too.

How I work

Mental health is usually treated in pieces. Some talk about your history, others adjust a medication, few know about supplements and almost nobody asks how you sleep, what you eat or how many coffees you drink a day. I work with all of it at once.

The body

Working with what you feel as well as what you think.

Your history

Where you learned to live the way you live.

Your habits

Sleep, food, movement and screens.

Your biochemistry

Checking for deficiencies, recommending supplements when they're needed and, if you take medication, adjusting it.

Practices

Breathing and meditation, when they help you.

One treatment can include an antidepressant and, beside it, sleeping better, supplements or an afternoon walk.
