LET’S BE CO-HEALERS IN THIS ONE, BEAUTIFULLY MESSY LIFE.

Therapy Specialties

Knowing who you are  — your values, beliefs, personality traits, experiences and social roles — is the most important exploration. In therapy with me, we will honor all of you and cultivate compassion for the parts of you that have been misunderstood, hurt or systemically disenfranchised.

You will gain tools to deepen your self awareness and rebuild self-trust, soothe your nervous system, soften protective barriers, and understand your survival mechanisms.

Let’s explore the world inside of you:

  • Gender

  • Sexual orientation

  • Race, ethnicity and culture

  • Self-esteem

  • New role: parent, caregiver, widow

  • Personality and temperament

  • Religion and spirituality

Traumatic experiences are remembered by your body, which are then transcribed into belief systems about your sense of safety, competence, control, and responsibility.

Together, we will release traumatic energy from your body and change your belief systems and self-narrative to be more hopeful and honest. Our work will be co-created, including the many gifts from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization + Reprocessing (EMDR), breath work, and somatic practices.

Areas to explore and process:

  • Neglect

  • Grief and loss

  • Abuse: sexual, physical, emotional

  • Community violence

  • Medical trauma

  • Immigration and displacement

  • Identity-based discrimination

Relationships are the cornerstone of a fulfilling life and yet, they can be so difficult to cultivate, sustain and navigate. If you are facing challenges in your relationships, whether with a partner, family member, friend, or colleague, I can help you explore and overcome barriers to having fulfilling relationships. I provide personalized guidance, practical tools and effective strategies to improve communication, resolve conflicts and build deeper, more meaningful relationships.

Common relationship issues:

  • Communication problems

  • Trust and betrayal

  • Conflict resolution

  • Emotional and sexual intimacy

  • Parenting differences

  • Power imbalances

  • Attachment and dependency

  • Emotional regulation

Spiritual practices can help you both zoom out to experience your divine interconnectedness and zoom in on the present moment for a sense of anchoring.

If you wish to explore spirituality in therapy, we'll work on building mindfulness practices and exploring ways to distance yourself from the ego mind so that you can tap into the infinite gifts of your spirit. This journey will open up greater access to your wise, conscious, and loving Self. Whether you want to develop a dedicated spiritual practice or weave spirituality into your overall therapy, we can tailor our sessions to meet your needs.

Exploration:

  • Spiritual identity

  • Meaning and purpose

  • Connection to higher power

  • Mindfulness and meditation

  • Intuition and inner wisdom

  • Coping and suffering
