Individual Therapy
My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that all psychological issues stem from a disconnection between the mind, body, and spirit. We ultimately heal through connection with the self which then extends to a deeper connection with others and life itself. If you are currently under stress, have experienced chronic stress or traumatic events in the past, you may be feeling less like “you” or you may have never gotten
the chance to figure out who “you” are because you have been focused on just surviving.
I am a trauma-informed therapist which means that we will explore your current struggles through the lens of any past or present experiences that have caused you to disconnect from yourself. I recognize that we each carry the active wound of having to function in a colonized world that perpetuates dysfunction and disconnection. I can support you in tapping into the deeper wisdom of your body, your intuition, and reconnecting with all of the aspects of you that need to be acknowledged, felt, and integrated. If we have the courage to slow down and create space with curiosity about what is happening internally, then we can begin to bring light to the most wounded parts of you.
I would be honored to serve as a compassionate guide and witness on your healing journey.

EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a mind-body therapy approach that addresses the mental, emotional, and physical impact of stressful life experiences. Our minds are equipped with natural healing processes specifically for processing distressing life experiences. In the way that our physical bodies have their own healing processes for physical wounds, our minds have similar processes for psychological wounding. However, if an experience is too overwhelming, our minds and bodies will lock up reflexively as a protective response. This causes the residual energy left over from the experience to become stuck in our nervous system and symptoms of post traumatic stress can arise. EMDR is an effective way to activate your brain's natural healing process and release any stress that is bound up in your mind and body. I view EMDR as a sacred process that offers the opportunity to reconnect with our innate resilience, our “higher self”, and the healing potential that exists within all of us.

Stay near to yourself. Remember your body."
