I offer a sacred space for your sacred stories. This safe space allows you to do the courageous work of going within to know yourSelf deeper, understand yourSelf better, and bring your true Self forth. Our work together is a collaborative, co-creative process in which we explore your present-day experiences as well as childhood and early adulthood experiences through your thoughts, feelings, body wisdom, and soul-knowing. I am a kind & gentle witness to you exploring your Self. I walk along beside you as you heal Inner Wounds, release stored trauma, and create a heart-centered, truthful, empowered, integrated Self.
Our first session is a chance for us to get to know one another and see/feel/know if we are a good fit together (do our energies align?) If not, let's find you a better fit! If yes, let's dive in. What this means in our first session is that you will have the chance to share what brings you to therapy (challenges & struggles, your desires to shift), and what you would like to work on in sessions. I will share with you my approaches (grounding and breath work to begin each session) as well as policies related to confidentiality, therapy attendance, etc.
I bring a warm & empowering presence to sessions. Clients often share that the sacred space I offer is one in which they feel seen, heard, cared for, and understood to a depth and degree they haven't experienced before. My compassionate heart, gentle soul and deep love for what I do & who I work with comes through in therapy.
Talk therapy with a twist! I offer clinical talk therapy with a Mind-Body-Heart-Spirit approach. I am a clinical trauma therapist and an integrative, holistic therapist and practitioner. Clinical talk therapy includes humanistic, person-centered, strengths-based, culturally-sensitive, feminist therapeutic approaches utilizing Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Positive Psychology. Mind-Body-Heart-Spirit approach includes compassion-focused, mindfulness-based therapy, body/somatic awareness, grounding techniques, breath work, yoga philosophy, energy principles, metaphor work, dream exploration, a multiple intelligences framework, and expressive/creative arts.
