Individual Therapy

As a result of ongoing stress or a traumatic event(s), the body can get stuck in a survival state or hold onto stuck energy which impacts the bodies autonomic nervous system. Somatic Therapy support you to bring mindful awareness to sensations in your body so that you can release any stored tension and remind your body that is safe in the present while learning techniques to release any stuck energy. 

I will also support you to build your supports outside of session through your interpersonal relationships and community. As we spend a limited amount of time together in session, I find that supporting folks to build supports outside of session is extremely helpful to reaching their treatment goals and  improve overall wellbeing. 

In Person Centered Therapy, the client is the expert in their lives. When utilizing this therapeutic modality I come along side my clients with my knowledge of mental health and experience working with folks in this capacity to co-create a healing path forward. 

In my practice I work from a de-colonize lens and consider not only what a client is experiencing in their daily lives and relationships but also look at systemic factors that are impacting an individuals experience. Practicing from a de-colonized lens is something that I continue to learn about and implement in my work with clients, and that is extremely important to me as a person of color. 

As a herbalist I am happy to support clients to integrate working with the plants to support healing. This can be as simple as supporting clients by making them teas based on their presenting symptoms or sharing other ways in which the plants can be supportive on their healing journeys.
