If you or your teenager identify as a highly sensitive or intuitive person, Skye can support you to find balance and feel grounded. If you prefer data and neuroscience about how our busy brains work, Skye can work to explore how to slow your brain and expand areas you would like to develop. Frameworks she uses pull from Polyvagal Theory, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology, mindfulness skills as well as nondual awareness meditations all of which can support you on creating your personal healing path. Additionally, Skye is also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy for trauma, anxiety, and depression. Skye’s approach is holistic in nature and includes an awareness of the overlap of the mind, the body, the emotions, and your inner spirit as connected systems for development and healing.
