Therapy
Life's challenges can be overwhelming. Whether you're dealing with unresolved trauma, seeking personal growth, or striving for optimal well-being, holistic therapy services are here to support you. Recognizing the need for help is a courageous step toward healing and transformation. Together, we create a container in which you can safely explore, evaluate, release, and reflect. You will undergo your own unique process of generating insight, opening up to new perspectives, and healing from past traumas and psychic injuries.
Approaches
The approach is tailored to your specific needs and goals. As your therapist, I take the time to get to know your history, identity, culture, ways of being, ways of coping and adapting, and survival strategies. Together, we develop goals and continually check in to ensure we are moving together harmoniously toward goals that make the most sense for you. Therapy is an invitation to co-create the experience you need, empowering you to recognize and communicate your needs and work collaboratively toward addressing them.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness is the practice of continually drawing the attention to the present moment. In therapy, mindfulness can help us to be present with what is, even difficult psychic experiences. Instead of projecting our awareness into the future which can feel like anxiety, or the past which can feel like depression, we can focus our attention on the here and now. By cultivating our comfort with being with these experiences, we can open to the messages these sensations carry.
Liberation-Based Psychotherapy
The symptoms that arise in us did not arise out of nowhere, they come to us with a message from the realm of the unknown and the unseen. They come with a message, they say: listen, something is not working here. Together, we honor the symptom and understand all of the reasons it emerged, including the social, political, and economic context in which it came to be. We explore what needs to be noticed, held, and witnessed, as well as what can be released, soothed, and nurtured. The liberation is in you reclaiming access to your voice, power, and ability to connect.
Trauma Healing
What we feel now is often influenced by traumatic emotional wounds in the past that never got the chance to fully heal. These wounds continue to ache and bleed into other areas of our lives until we take the time to uncover them and heal them. Therapy is a space where we can facilitate healing in a supportive environment, where you can open up and let go of the pain while drawing wisdom and insight from the experience.
Therapeutic Modalities
EMDR
EMDR is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. It is an evidence-based treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related conditions that uses bilateral stimulation (through tapping, eye movement, sound, or vibration) to reprocess traumatic memories. I use EMDR in an integrative way in therapy to support the processing of difficult or painful emotional experiences, and also in a focused way to alleviate and heal from the pain of past traumas.
Somatic Processing
Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy are naturalistic approaches to the resolution of post-traumatic stress reactions. They support the regulation and release of stress and survival behaviors through focal awareness of body sensation.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is a gentle, non-invasive technique that helps you train your brain to operate at its optimal level. By using real-time brainwave monitoring, neurofeedback offers a pathway to calm your mind, improve focus, and enhance emotional well-being. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, manage anxiety, or improve sleep, this personalized approach supports your journey toward a balanced and vibrant life. Itβs about giving your brain the tools it needs to heal and thrive naturally.
