Innate Capacity
“I have come to the conclusion that human beings are born with an innate capacity to triumph over trauma. I believe not only that trauma is curable, but that the healing process can be a catalyst for profound awakening—a portal opening to emotional and genuine spiritual transformation.”
-Dr. Peter Levine
Holistic Healing in Therapy
Healing is deeply personal.
While my work is grounded in evidence-based psychotherapy, I also recognize that many people find strength and meaning through practices that honor the connection between body, mind, and spirit.
If these approaches are meaningful to you, they are welcome in our work together.
Complementary practices are always optional, guided by your goals, and integrated only when clinically appropriate within psychotherapy. They are never a replacement for mental health treatment.
Depending on your interests and therapeutic goals, we may thoughtfully incorporate:
- Somatic mindfulness and nervous system awareness
- Somatic Experiencing® practices that support settling, rhythm, and resilience
- Guided imagery and visualization
- Meditation, prayer, or your own spiritual practices
- Mindful Self-Compassion
- Nature-based reflection and connection with the natural world
- Womb wisdom traditions for women who find these practices personally meaningful
- Womb Reiki as a supportive resource for nervous system regulation and self-connection
- Gentle exploration of chakra or energy awareness when aligned with your beliefs and goals
- Awareness of menstrual or seasonal rhythms as a way of deepening self-understanding and nervous system regulation
I believe healing becomes richer when we honor the whole person.
My role is not to lead you toward any particular spiritual path or belief system. Rather, I support you in drawing upon the inner and outer resources that already bring meaning, strength, and alignment to your life.
Together, we'll create a therapy experience that reflects your values, your goals, and the unique ways you find healing and hope.
