More than just talk therapy..
I am a licensed holistic psychotherapist specializing in treating adults with mild to severe trauma including childhood, relationship, chronic, and single incident traumas as well as dissociative disorders.
As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II (CCTP-II), I will guide you beyond talk therapy so you can learn how to safely process emotions stored in your body, maintain a regulated nervous system, delve into your own subconscious, and develop your intuition & innate healing potential.
Together we will explore those inner nooks and crannies that hold old wounds, stuck beliefs, as well as your inner wisdom so you can heal on the deepest levels, learn to trust yourself, and thrive as your badass authentic self.

parts work - you've heard of inner child healing, but that is just one aspect of parts work. This approach views individuals as having multiple or many distinct internal aspects or "parts" that influence thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am primarily influenced by Internal Family Systems and the Structural Dissociation model.
somatics - I will guide you in creating safety within your body so you can learn its language and interpret the constant messages it conveys. Recognizing that trauma often resides in the body, we work to safely integrate it into the healing process.
spirituality - this is about what YOU bring to the healing process. The spiritual dimension of therapy is all about supporting you in defining what spirituality means for you personally, cultivating your intuition, and exploring your unique inner truths—without the imposition of any specific spiritual philosophies.
EMDR - (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-focused therapy that utilizes guided bilateral stimulation to help clients process and alleviate the emotional distress associated with traumatic memories. The best part about EMDR is you don't even have to verbalize your trauma if you don't want to.

In ancient Greek philosophy, "psyche" denoted the Soul or essence of one's being, while "therapeia" meant treatment or healing. Hence, psychotherapy is the healing of the Soul. At its core, it's about delving deep, extending beyond mere self-awareness and cognitive understanding. Holistic depth work involves exploring emotions and aspects we may fear, harbor anger towards, or dislike. It's a journey to challenge our beliefs and foster profound healing for the Soul.
