About me
I'm a somatic psychotherapist, specializing in trauma, grief, & chronic pain/illness for individuals. No matter what brings you to therapy, I address your needs from the inside-out by honoring all dimensions of body, mind, energy, emotions, and spirit. We holistically capitalize on the healing power with mindful & intentional exploration. I provide a compassionate, human-centered approach to therapy, utilizing body-based techniques to harmonize inner healing with your body's innate wisdom (intuition) & the neurobiology of your brain, fostering a profound body-mind connection.
My Specialties: 1) Trauma & PTSD 2) Chronic Pain/Illness 3) Grief & Loss. I have extensive training in multiple somatic approaches for an integrative and holistic lens of healing. Another focus within my experience is in Addiction & helping family members of addicted loved ones find healing.
I'm trained in providing EMDR Therapy, as it's an essential tool for the clients I work with. I'm also a Somatic Integration and Processing (SIP) Therapist. SIP at its core stems from: 1) Attachment Theory & Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB); 2) Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) and Memory Reconsolidation; and 3) Somatic Psychology.
I'm a licensed supervisor for LMFT-Associate's in the state of Texas, accepting new supervisees now!
Professionally & personally, my philosophies from an East meets West perspective which has shown me many true paths to wholeness as well as the potential we can all reach and live by as humans. A vital part to many aspects in healing, such as Mind-Body Interventions & Interoception, came from learning Embodied, Respiratory, and Contemplative Practices within Eastern approaches to medicine & spirituality.
I'm proud to say therapy has been a vital tool in my own life; my personal experiences have shaped me into the therapist and person I am today but learning to love and be with all of my experiences is the work, but also the best gift you could give to yourself. With a holistic approach, I believe working with an individual means working with all of the parts that make the individual whole. I’m focused with the overall, long-term well-being of my clients.
