A Compassionate Space to Heal your Mind, Body, and Spirit

Holistic care that goes beyond traditional talk therapy.

Life doesn’t look or feel the way you wish it did

  • You feel disconnected from your body and your emotions

  • You’ve tried traditional talk therapy but you did not see the change you were looking for. You might be asking “why do I still feel like this?!”

Life doesn’t have to feel this way. Our work together will help empower you to feel confident, connected, and in control. You will gain long term change and the ability to process your emotions in a healthy way.

  • Feel more connected to yourself, your body, and your relationships

  • Build more confidence and trust in yourself

  • Develop a deeper understanding of what is at the root of your stress and unhappiness

  • Create more life balance and prioritize your own needs

  • Find relief from painful past experiences

  • Regain control

  • Live authentically

What We Offer Is More Than Traditional Talk Therapy

Unlike traditional talk therapy, which primarily engages the cognitive mind, we provide therapy that address the connection between the mind and body. Trauma affects not only thoughts and emotions but also physiological responses, and we aim to help you bridge the gap between your mind and body.

  • EMDR targets unprocessed memories stuck in the brain and body from painful past experiences. These stored memories hold painful emotions, distressing body sensations, and negative thoughts and beliefs that keep us stuck in reliving the past. These stuck memories are the basis of current problems.

  • Somatic Experiencing® (SE) aims to resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies. SE® helps us release, recover, and become more resilient.
