Individual Therapy

A Holistic Approach:

Holistic therapy is a form of integrative therapy that takes into account the entire person – mind, body, and spirit. It focuses on the interconnectedness of all aspects of a person's life and aims to address the root causes of mental and emotional distress.

Through a combination of traditional talk therapy, mindfulness practices, and holistic healing techniques, individuals are guided towards a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences.

Individual Sessions

An Integrative Approach

I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from psychodynamic, systemic, mindfulness, somatic, Jungian, and transpersonal modalities. Every session is tailored to your unique needs, blending practical tools with deeper insight work to help regulate emotions, improve relationships, process past experiences, and reconnect with your sense of self.

Psychodynamic & Systemic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy explores the subconscious—the hidden stories and wounds that shape our present. Systemic therapy brings awareness to the larger webs we live within—family, culture, and society—and how these influence our relationships, self-image, and narratives. Together, these approaches help us understand both our inner world and the systems surrounding us.

Trauma-Informed Somatic Work

Trauma often shows up as the past replaying itself in the present. In session, we work with the body as well as the mind, integrating Gestalt techniques, Jungian somatic approaches, and Polyvagal-informed practices to notice and release what has become “stuck.” This allows you to process experiences safely, regulate the nervous system, and reclaim embodied presence. Rather than pathologizing trauma, we view it as a teacher—holding resilience and wisdom. In this work, the goal is to shed the sand and keep the gold.

Skills & Behavioral Modalities (CBT + DBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provide practical tools for daily life. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, while DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness—helping you improve communication, set boundaries, and navigate conflict with more skill. These strategies complement deeper therapeutic exploration.

Embodied Mindfulness

Embodied mindfulness invites you into the present moment with awareness and compassion, connecting both mind and body. It helps reduce anxiety, manage stress, regulate emotions, calm panic responses, improve focus, and support self-reflection. It also promotes resilience and healthier responses in relationships. This practice integrates seamlessly with other modalities, offering a grounded way to observe thoughts, sensations, and feelings while staying connected to your embodied experience.

Jungian Exploration

Jungian therapy explores the “shadow”—the parts of ourselves we’ve hidden, repressed, or shamed—and uses dreamwork to access unconscious wisdom. We also draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), which aligns with Jungian archetypes, exploring inner “parts” that carry both protective functions and deeper truths. This work helps reclaim lost aspects of yourself and move toward greater wholeness.

Transcendent & Integrative Work

This approach bridges psychology and spirituality, exploring how dreams, altered states of consciousness, mystical experiences, and cultural or belief systems shape your inner life. It provides a space to honor the transcendent aspects of being human and integrates these insights into personal growth, self-understanding, and everyday life.

Optional Integrations

Insight Through Archetypes & Symbols

These practices use symbolic systems to explore the human psyche and support personal growth. Archetypal astrology blends traditional techniques with Jungian perspectives, offering insight into life patterns and recurring themes. Jungian Tarot interprets the cards as archetypal symbols reflecting the unconscious, facilitating self-reflection, shadow integration, and narrative exploration. In therapy, these tools enhance insight, foster awareness of inner dynamics, and support the process of individuation—helping clients engage with their inner world in a structured, psychologically grounded way.

Ancient Body & Energy Healing

These practices draw on sacred, time-honored traditions that connect body, mind, and spirit. Yogic movement, including Vinyasa and Ashtanga techniques, and Reiki energy work help regulate the nervous system, release tension, and restore balance. Integrated with trauma-informed and somatic approaches, these ancient practices provide a safe space to cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and embodied presence, supporting both healing and personal growth.

About Relationship Therapy

Holistic therapy practiced in conjunction with the Gottman Method addresses importance of understanding each individuals unique experiences, beliefs, and values, and how these factors impact their relationship dynamics.

Clients are guided to develop a deeper understanding of each other, improve communication and conflict resolution skills, and build a stronger emotional connection.

Couples sessions include :

Gottman Method

The Gottman Method is a form of relational therapy that focuses on helping each person learn new behaviors and communication skills to improve their relationship. Through this method, clients learn to identify and change negative patterns in their interactions, develop greater intimacy and connection, and enhance their ability to manage conflicts effectively.

The therapy sessions often involve learning and practicing specific techniques, such as active listening, expressing emotions in a healthy way, and finding common ground during disagreements.

The ultimate goal of the Gottman Method is to help clients build stronger, more fulfilling relationships based on trust, empathy, and understanding.

This approach is rooted in extensive research and has been shown to be effective in helping couples address a wide range of issues and improve their overall satisfaction with their relationships. It's a useful model for resolving familial issues as well.

Discernment Counseling

This type of counseling assists couples who are struggling to figure out whether to work things out or separate in finding clarity. Sessions oscillate between couples and individual sessions with the therapist, and focus on deeper exploration and insight as to why one might be leaning out, leaning in, or feeling ambivalent.

Mindfulness Based Therapy for Couples

Mindfulness counseling for couples uses present-moment awareness to improve communication, manage emotions, and deepen connection by reducing reactivity and fostering empathy, leading to more effective conflict resolution and increased intimacy.

Trauma Processing

One of the ways we can look at trauma is: the past, repeating itself in the present, thus interfering with our ability to live in the present. Somatic research has shown that trauma can stay stuck (unexpressed) in the body and/or mind; thus we aim to give it expression.

Shadow Work

This is the process of unearthing and rebuilding a relationship with aspects of ourselves that we may have closeted. Repressed thoughts, emotions, and physical and spiritual complexes can contribute to many ailments such as depression, anxiety, and mental and even manifest physically. Both shamed aspects; parts we view as negative, and gifts/ strengths can dwell in shadow

Life Coaching

Coaching aims at helping individuals achieve their personal and professional goals. Unlike therapy, life coaching focuses on the present and the future, rather than delving into past traumas or mental health issues. The goal of life coaching is to empower clients to make positive changes in their lives, develop new skills, and overcome obstacles.

Life coaching is not affiliated with therapy and does not involve diagnosing or treating mental health conditions. Instead, life coaches work with clients to identify their strengths and create a plan for achieving their goals. By providing guidance, support, and accountability, life coaches can help clients make meaningful changes and live their best lives.
