I find therapy most potent, important, and meaningful when there is a mix of: Compassion/spaciousness (non-judgment); Curiosity/levity (as appropriate); & Choicefulness.  

From my background in Somatic Counseling / Body Psychotherapy, I make use of my own body, and body-based (a.k.a. somatic) tracking, applied moment-to-moment in the room with clients. Sometimes this is as simple as noticing the breath, or bringing attention (and other options) to bear when something shifts.  There are also many extensive toolboxes of potential somatic interventions that expand the range, and the richness, of what a session together may include.

In this way, I work with individuals / couples using the non-verbal frameworks, lenses, and skills with which I am familiar—not to build more boxes, nor just devise more fancy ways to categorize & judge—but rather to open, and explore collaboratively, more facets of what may be going on for you (in terms of YOUR OWN body, mind, spirit, and emotions... etc).

This allows is for the circulation of curiosity between us, and whatever the situation presents—in order to address, and travel down, more of the ‘in-roads’ that arise at the heart of the therapeutic situation between us. When interacting in-person (or ‘Telehealth,’ these days), a lot depends on the feel of alliance, or 'FIT,' which we orchestrate together.

When I envisaged my business name as “FIT Psychotherapy,” it was less for me a nod to some implicit ideal of 'fitness,' than it was a matter of exploration and mutual co-discovery—as a living process that involves ‘Finding Integration Together.’  In alignment with this, I aspire to invoke, and make skillful use of, a reciprocal richness that is always already there (implicitly or otherwise) in the relationship between us.
