Approach

A different way to experience therapy

Clinical somatic psychotherapy, psychospiritual therapy, and metaphysical approaches—together.

I integrate somatic psychotherapy with metaphysical and spiritual practices to create a therapeutic experience that goes beyond talking about what’s wrong.

Our work includes exploring your thoughts, patterns, guilt, shame, and trauma, listening to your body, working with your nervous system, reconnecting with your intuition, and incorporating spiritual or metaphysical practices, such as oracle or tarot cards, energy work, ritual, guided visualization, and more. 

My clinical training provides the foundation for our work, while metaphysical and spiritual practices offer additional avenues for reflection, exploration, and meaning-making, and empowerment.

You don’t have to choose between psychotherapy and spiritual healing practices. 

WHAT DOES A THERAPY SESSION LOOK LIKE?

There’s no formula for our work together. 

The first few sessions involve getting to know one another, building trust, and helping me understand your needs based on the reasons you’ve come to therapy.

After that, some sessions may involve talking to make sense of your life experiences and relationships, while helping you attune to your body in that moment to access unconscious patterns. Other sessions may involve slowing down, noticing your body, staying in your present moment experience, working with emotions that arise, and exploring patterns that keep repeating.

During our sessions, I’ll help you access your intuition, your spiritual beliefs or guidance, and/or other tools such as guided visualization, energy work, crystals, and oracle or tarot cards, breathwork, sound, or other metaphysical or spiritual tools and practices.  

I used guided visualization to support you in leaving the therapy space feeling centered and empowered after processing your issues. 

You have complete autonomy over what we explore and what we don’t. We move at your pace because I follow your lead.

One of my roles is to be the anchor for you as you vulnerably move through shame, guilt, trauma, or relational and old patterns you want to shift. Another role I hold in our sessions is to help you see the unseen that is impacting your life. 

our relationship matters

At the center of our work is our therapeutic relationship.

As therapists, we can use all the tools, theories, and practices in the world, but if we don’t experience connection, then none of that matters.  Change happens when you feel safe, supported, respected, seen, heard, and connected.

Our work is collaborative. I will offer clinical and metaphysical support AND I don’t believe I am the expert on you.

You are. 

MIND. BODY. SPIRIT. METAPHYSICS.
Somatic Psychotherapy

Talking about your experiences can help you understand them, and for some, it feels important to be witnessed. However, sometimes sharing and understanding your story isn’t enough. In fact, sharing may feel retraumatizing for some women.

In somatic psychotherapy, we use mindfulness and anchor attention to your body’s physical sensations in the present moment as you talk, remember, feel, and process—so we can access unconscious issues that are ready to arise.

You might notice sensations, tension, impulses, emotions, nervous-system responses, or places where you feel stuck, heavy, or even light and open.

The goal is to follow your body’s lead and see what arises. This experience is unique for each person. Most clients develop greater self-awareness, new insight, inner safety, intuitive connection, and the ability to be present and calm within.

Psychospiritual and Metaphysical Practices

I also incorporate spiritual and metaphysical practices and tools into our work. These practices are never required, and I don’t impose a particular belief system onto my clients.

Depending on what feels appropriate for you, we may explore:

  • Intuitive practices
  • Energy work
  • Oracle or tarot cards
  • Guided visualizations
  • Ritual and ceremony
  • Breathwork
  • Crystals and symbolism
  • Meditation
  • Movement or dance
  • Nature connection
  • Angel and/or Spirit Connection

These are tools and practices.
We will use what feels meaningful to you and resonates with you.
