A holistic approach that embraces the mind, body, and spirit
throughout the treatment process.
Individualized Therapy Services and treatment for Women.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, I provide individual therapy services for women with customized treatment to help them lean into all aspects of their lived experience.
Over the last several years, we’ve seen a significant shift as many clinicians have expanded their practices to account for the ways the mind and body are inextricably linked.
Most of my clients come to me having had some experience with therapy in the past. Maybe you have too, and you found it useful to process feelings of depression, anxiety, general discontent with your life, or a lack of meaning and fulfillment.
But in spite of experiencing some relief, the work didn’t translate into the meaningful transformation that you know is possible for you and your life.
Contemporary research continues to reveal that thoughts don’t only live in the mind, but also in the body. Therefore, even if your previous experiences in therapy helped you process your thoughts cognitively, it’s difficult to experience lasting change without addressing the way your emotions have manifested in your body.
In my practice, which combines Depth Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing®, I teach the principles of embodiment. Learning to live an embodied experience helps you to recruit the body into the healing process and achieve better therapeutic outcomes.
Integrative Care From my office in Pasadena.
My clients come to me wanting to work through challenges like:
Experiencing a sense of detachment from their own physical selves, interpersonal connections, and social circles
Struggling with feelings of sadness and overwhelming worry
Encountering barriers to creativity or feeling immobilized without clear reasons
Challenges in adjusting to major changes in life
Struggling to let go of past events that remain unresolved
Balancing the demands of motherhood with professional responsibilities
My practice is centered around modalities that explore the inner workings of both the mind and the body as a singular, bi-directional system. Psychodynamic therapy is an approach in which we identify patterns of thought and behavior that you may not be consciously aware of. Becoming aware of these patterns can provide incredible insight into why you continue to feel stuck in certain parts of your life in spite of your desire for things to be different.
