I create a casual environment by encouraging my clients to give themselves permission to be human! In my office, we fidget, snack, move around, and listen to what our bodies need while we are doing the hard work of processing! We also sometimes wear pajamas (especially on Mondays!)

I have various items available within the office in order for my clients to feel physically comfortable and regulated during their sessions. A few of these things include fidgets, coffee, tea, snacks, essential oils, and white noise machines. Clients are also encouraged to bring in their own preferred items for regulation and fidgeting.

A part of therapy is learning how to listen to our bodies. That includes during therapy! Clients are welcomed to sit wherever and however they feel comfortable. Sometimes we sit criss cross applesauce on the floor, sometimes we rock back and forth in the chairs, and sometimes we lay on a couch!

My office provides a quiet, relaxed, and warm environment through the use of essential oils, dim lighting, warm lighting, availability to increase or decrease temperature, and overall provide a flexible environment that can be catered to each client’s preferences and needs.
