I am an integrative psychologist with a holistic approach to well-being. My clients always have a voice in the direction of their therapy. Therapy is a partnership. The therapeutic process must be empowering for you.

For all of us, life can be both wonderful and challenging, and everyone experiences moments of success and failure. We all experience love and accomplishment as well as darkness and pain. But we can all heal from our traumas and change the way these experiences impact our lives and relationships with others and how we view the world around us.

I invite you to your healing journey to build a rich, full, and meaningful life. I welcome you to my safe, non-judgmental, and culturally inclusive space, where together we create a healing connection with yourself and others. We focus on reducing the influence of painful thoughts and feelings resulting from unique life experiences. In this holistic journey, we will look at the imprint of unique events that have impacted your body and mind.

I will help you establish the connection between the emotional and rational brain so that you can replace the sense of helplessness with a sense of safety and control. I help you react and respond to the world around you mindfully and establish a friendly relationship with your mind and body. This way, you can self-regulate without relying on external strategies such as substances or other unhelpful coping methods.

I use interventions that I find empowering for my clients, including EMDR (memory reprocessing), Mindfulness-based Somatic approaches, TCTSY Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga, as well as Attachment Trauma and Inner Child Healing. These interventions allow you to discover the wisdom of your own unique mind and body. Your body’s inherent intelligence and ability to fully recover not only from physical but also psychological injury.

I am also a certified facilitator of TCTSY (Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga). Trauma, first and foremost, affects our bodies. Our body and our brain do not work in isolation. Stress and trauma are felt in the body, and the imprints of our life history are stored in the body. Learning to “feel your feels” and connect to self opens up a portal for a full recovery and emotional transformation and for accessing endless possibilities that life offers you. TCTSY is an empirically validated clinical intervention for complex trauma or chronic, treatment-resistant post-traumatic stress.

In my practice, I also include Mindfulness-based Somatic (body-oriented) approaches. Body awareness is a powerful tool and intervention. Somatic mindfulness creates mind-body integration where it had been lacking. It allows you to use your body responses as your source of information without letting these sensations overpower you. Even unpleasant body sensations can become your allies instead of your enemies. This kind of therapeutic work softens and reduces the hypervigilant threat response and hyperarousal in the nervous system. Fight or flight contributes to many physical health problems. It is evident in science that the connection between psychic experience and physical health is enormous. Full embodiment in the present moment can be a truly healing experience. The only way to explain this is by experiencing it.

I also offer Attachment Trauma and Inner Child Healing because the impressions made on you as a child by your parents or other important figures are imprinted in you. The “wounded inner child” or a “shadow child” encompasses the deeply rooted negative beliefs about yourself, the world around you, relationships, and the future.
