What is therapy?
Therapy means safety, first & foremost. In my office, there is no judgment. Your feelings, opinions, and beliefs are safe, confidential & valued. If you are to be your most authentic self, then you must experience acceptance, which is, to me, the root of therapy. I will hold a safe space for you to search your emotions, upr ideas,your past, your dreams, and your desires in order to free you to become your authentic self.
I see my role as that of a catalyst, working with you to find your own North Star, your own inner compass.
I work with addictions, trauma, life transitions, spirituality, depression, anxiety, relationship issues.
I work with individuals over 18 and couples.
The Power of Dreams
Dreamwork uses your dreams as a gateway to your unconscious beliefs and feelings. Dreams use symbolic language and communicates with our conscious minds in mysterious ways. However, dreams can be understood as the unique expression of your soul and spirit. Often, in working with dreams, you will experience an "a-ha Moment" : insight into problems or issues that have been bothering you.
Somatic Internal Family systems
Somatic therapy derives from the Greek word soma, meaning "body." Somatic therapy focuses on embodied feelings and bridges the mind/body dichotomy often found in we humans. There are several ways to work with somatic therapy, including focusing on the breath and incorporating movement into therapy. It is useful in working with trauma and addictions, as well as emotional blocks.
Art Therapy
Art is an incredible tool for healing psychological wounds. Self expression is always freeing, and it also allows the unconscious to speak in a similar way as dreams do. I encourage my clients to find a way to express themselves, as I find my own creative pursuits to be both meditative and healing.
Trauma Informed Therapy
I practice EMDR as well as Breathwork to work with victims of trauma.
Both are therapies designed to access the unconscious , where memories of trauma may hamper their current lives.
