Individual Therapy
Give Yourself the Care You Deserve
What most of modern psychology has forgotten is that our past difficulties and traumas do not only live in the mind - they are embedded in our bodies and our nervous systems. These experiences reside in the tension in our shoulders, the emptiness in our bellies, and the breaths we take only shallowly. This is why deep healing requires more than just talking about our problems. Our minds are clever, they know what to do - it’s just that our bodies haven’t yet gotten the memo. I use an approach called Integral Somatic Psychology to increase your capacity for your emotional experience. New research in affective neuroscience and cognitive psychology shows that the more the body is involved in emotional experience, the easier it is for the brain to process a situation emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally. This leads to you feeling more free to live your life - less weighed down by the burdens of the past.
Healing our wounds allows us to live authentically. We learn to provide ourselves with the love and validation we seek from others
I use an integrative approach to therapy combining elements of somatic psychology, parts work (internal family systems), mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic relational and attachment work. It is the interconnection of mind and body that leads to our inner wisdom and greatest capacity for healing.
The experiences and emotions trapped in our bodies are actually remnants of parts of ourselves that need to be heard and understood. Through therapy we work on integrating these parts so that your true self can emerge.
I am honored to collaborate with my clients in challenging times bringing genuine empathy, compassion, and professionalism. I will walk with you and guide you in connecting to your own intuition, your own heart, and your own power.
