​

Modality/Therapy Details

​

The aim with all modalities Jillian is trained in is to support the resolution of unprocessed emotions, unmet needs, and traumas that create unhelpful thoughts, feelings, behaviors, beliefs (etc.). Each is utilized by Jillian to resource the whole brain and nervous system, while incorporating Somatic (body) Healing and Relational Attachment approaches for fuller integration and regulation within the whole person's being. Regardless what other approaches Jillian is utilizing she always integrates Somatic, Nervous System, and Attachment informed support into the process.

​

With Hypnotherapy, Jillian integrates the client's own truth and clarity that we arrive at through coaching/therapy and/or play (in the case of children). This allows for each experience the client has to be fully customized to their exact needs. In addition, Jillian specializes in Clinical Hypnotherapy and doing trauma-informed/trained "root-work" that allows the innate intelligence of the client's subconscious and nervous system to lead the way. This ensures the process is done in the most harmonious/beneficial manner possible.

Play Therapy provides a safe, therapeutic space for the child to play through their inner challenges to achieve a deeper sense of harmony within themselves. This is reflected in their interactions in the world.

​​

All that is really required of a client of any age is a desire and willingness to move towards whatever they would like to accomplish. We will work together to Turn Hardships into Harmony.​
