Holistic Psychotherapy
I utilize an integrative and intuitive approach to helping clients connect with their own internal wisdom to receive clarity, release blockages, and connect to their True Self. Each person is the expert of their own experience and holds the keys to unlocking their intentions for our work : my intention is to be a mirror to reflect your own light back to you, so that you can move towards who you want to be, and let go of what is standing in your way.
Together, we create a safe and supportive container that allows clients to dive into the deep, and sometimes challenging, aspects of their lives in order to heal and transform what lives there.
I guide this healing process by holding a space where others can look inward, and then facilitate empowering practices to help clients bring forth the wisdom gained in a meaningful, heart-centered way.
My counseling practice is person-centered in nature, utilizing tools from a variety of perspectives including somatic therapy, positive psychology, Buddhist psychology, creative practices, existential therapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and spiritual practices to best match each person’s unique path.
My approach is holistic, meaning your whole self is integrated into the process – mind, body, and spirit, but also your relationship to the world around you, your family, culture, identity, environment, and connection to what is greater. All aspects of our lives impact our mental wellbeing, so it is all relevant in therapy.
Sessions with me typically look like a combination of talk therapy, reflecting awareness exercises, coping skill building, and nervous system regulation tools.
I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and groups seeking support in leading a fully actualized life. I love working with clients who are ready to transform their lives in a big way, and have the self awareness and motivation to dive right in!
My practice is committed to LGBTQIA+ affirmative, sex positive, antiracist, feminist, and decolonial work. I am constantly learning how to embody these ideals even more, and work to actively support your multidimensional identity.
My areas of focus include:
- Trauma
- Anxiety
- Supporting New Moms, Post Partum Mental Health, & Preparing for Motherhood
- Women’s Healing & Empowerment
- Self Love & Body Positivity
- Grief
- Depression
- Coping with Stress & Transitions
- Exploring Identity, Passions, & Life Purpose
- Spiritual Awakening
Spiritual Healing
We are spiritual beings having a human experience
Our souls are expansive, beyond our physical bodies and our daily lives. Because of this, our healing journey has to go beyond our mental state and our physical wellbeing – to that part of us that is beyond, greater, and indescribable.
By getting into deeply relaxed states, where our brain waves are in their Theta state, we are in a place of deep potential, creativity, spiritual connection, and inspiration. In this state between conscious and unconscious, we can rewrite our automatic thoughts, change habits we are stuck in, and move past limiting beliefs that are keeping us stuck, to move into a state of self love and joy.
I incorporate energy healing modalities with other spiritual tools to help people reach a state of calm, balance, and inner peace. Spiritual healing sessions support those who are looking to help regulate their nervous system, retrain their subconscious mind, connect more deeply with themselves and their Higher Power, and expand their joy, acceptance, and trust in the greater path.
These sessions are uniquely tailored to you, and can include:
- Guided Meditation and Visualization
- Breathwork
- Aura Cleansing
- Chakra Balancing
- Hypnotherapy
- Sound Healing
- Crystals
- Aromatherapy
- Sensate Vagus Nerve Stimulation
- Oracle Cards
Psychedelic Integration
Psychedelic integration therapy is a therapeutic approach that supports individuals in processing and integrating insights and experiences from psychedelic or entheogenic experiences for personal growth, healing, and self-discovery. Transformational experiences —psychedelic-assisted or otherwise— wouldn’t be possible without the deep work that follows them. Integration is a vital, necessary, and important part of long-lasting growth and development.
Maternal Mental Health
The Birth of a Mother
The journey to motherhood is one of deep transformation – our identities change, our lifestyles change, our bodies change, our relationships to self change.
We need support going through these rapid and intense changes. The joys, the exhaustion, the uncertainty, the chaos, the beautiful, and the overwhelming – I’m here to help you navigate it all.
I support moms, mamas-to-be, baby loss moms, those experiencing fertility struggles, and couples navigating new parenthood through incorporating emotional processing, communication tools, wellness and self care strategies, coping tools, and a safe space to let it all out.
We live in a time where we are so separated from “the village” that we desperately need to hold us through new parenthood. All the books and podcasts in the world don’t replace real, human connection, another person saying – “Yes mama, I see you, and you don’t have to go through it alone.”
I am trained in supporting mothers through post partum anxiety and depression and providing options for managing mental health while navigating breast feeding, sleepless nights, and all of the demands new motherhood requires.
I also work alongside doulas to help our shared clients create “Post Partum Mental Health Plans” so that support tools are in place long before baby arrives.
I offer workshops, guided meditations, and personalized rites of passage ceremonies to support the transition from Maiden to Mother.
If you are in your parenting journey and looking for support, or you’re a doula who would like to collaborate, please reach out!
Mentorship
Mentorships are a powerful 3 or 6 month commitment for those seeking to invest deeply in their learning and growth as a wellness practitioner and step fully onto their path of alignment, service, and purpose. This journey is for those seeking to claim their dharma and embrace their work, heart first, with a grounding, guiding force alongside as you do.
We incorporate education with personal growth tools to help you not only learn the tools, but embody the medicine you are hoping to share with the world. Our work together can focus on learning facilitation skills and new offerings, developing business and marketing skills, and removing self doubt and blockages to sharing your voice.
Mentorship is a coaching container that utilizes a clear plan to work towards your goals of enhancing the impact of your spiritual or wellness business. Each session, each container is uniquely customized around the intentions you form, letting our time together unfold creatively and intuitively. I am also happy to teach you about any of the skills listed above to help develop your healer toolkit! I approach the mentorship container as a wide open heart, unconditionally offering myself to you – so you can receive any healing that is needed or to learn from any wisdom I can impart along the way.
I have supported past mentees with:
- Launching a wellness business, identifying a niche, and establishing a brand
- Clarifying offerings and sales funnels
- Releasing limiting beliefs, self doubt, and throat chakra imbalance that blocks the sharing of one’s voice, gifts, and medicine
- Developing healing skills including shadow work, trauma transformation, somatic and embodiment tools, integrative energy work, inner child healing, ancestral healing, conscious relationships, and self love
- Enhancing facilitation skills for group facilitators
- Learning to be a trauma informed practitioner
- Incorporating the power of psychedelics and integration tools into your practice
- & More!
Clinical Supervision
As a Clinical Supervisor, I offer supervision for Limited Licensed Professional Counselors who are working toward their licensure hours. I provide group and individual supervision. I love to work with new therapists who are passionate about holistic, somatic, and spiritual healing, psychedelic therapy, and shifting the mental health paradigm out of the medical model.
Rites of Passage
Honoring the transitions from one phase of life to the next through uniquely curated ceremonies, retreats, and gatherings
Humans throughout time have honored the phases of life with ritual. This practice feels innate to our existence as humans and goes beyond cultural or religious beliefs, to the core aspects of our humanity. These rituals are initiations, woven into our DNA, and often missing in modern society.
The rituals and celebrations that honor transitions, our mini “deaths and rebirths” throughout our lifetime, support us as we mature through new identities, roles, and phases.
Creating unique and customized ceremonies to celebrate the joining of the archetypal, mystical, and the embodied is a huge passion of mine. I am an Ordained Interfaith Minister through the Universal Life Church, and incorporate this with my trainings and personal practices to create personalized experiences for you and your community to take part in. These ceremonies are not based on specific religious practices and can be tailored to honor your own beliefs and preferences. Please visit my events gallery to view photos from past ceremonies.
Examples of rites of passage I support:
- Weddings & Love Ceremonies
- Maiden to Mother – for the individual or for her and her partner
- Mother Blessings or Intentional Baby Showers
- Bridal Gatherings or Intentional Bachelorette events, honoring the transition from Single Woman to Wife
- Postpartum Ceremony
- First Menstruation Ceremony
