I am trained in Hakomi Somatic Therapy— a gentle, mindfulness-based approach that invites you to come home to yourself through your body. True transformation isn’t just about understanding your struggles—it’s about embodying that understanding and rediscovering your joy and aliveness, which deepens your capacity to meet life’s ups and downs.

Guided by the core principles of Hakomi—mindfulness, nonviolence, organicity, unity, and mind–body holism—this method creates a compassionate space to explore your inner world. Instead of trying to analyze or solve feelings, Hakomi helps you slow down and notice the sensations, emotions, and impulses that live beneath your words and stories. Through this mindful attention, new connections emerge, opening pathways to deeper self knowledge.

Sessions may include mindfulness exploration of limiting beliefs, reenactments of missing experiences, IFS style parts work, gentle movement experiments, and consensual therapeutic touch, always shaped by your needs and readiness. By listening deeply to the body in this way, Hakomi offers an embodied path home to yourself.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy invites you to explore the many parts within yourself—each carrying emotions, memories, and roles shaped not only by your life experiences, but also by familial, cultural, and collective influences. Much like active imagination, IFS helps you access both your personal inner world and the deeper patterns that shape it, offering a pathway to understand and shift the dynamics that profoundly influence your life.

IFS supports you in building a compassionate, trusting relationship with all parts of yourself—the protectors, the ones carrying pain, and those connected to joy, purpose, and pleasure. As these relationships deepen, your core Self—the wise, calm center—emerges as a witness and guide. From this place, you can bring understanding, attunement, and care to your inner world, creating harmony within.

This process invites deeper self-awareness, emotional balance, and freedom from old patterns. It can open the door to genuine self-love and compassion, while creating more space for peace, creativity, and presence.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy designed to help you process and move through distressing memories and experiences that may be stuck in your nervous system. By using guided bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, taps, or sounds—EMDR helps your brain reprocess these memories in a way that reduces their emotional intensity and shifts how they affect you.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR works with the body’s natural healing processes, allowing painful experiences to be integrated and released without needing to talk them through in detail. This approach can bring relief from trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges, helping you reclaim a sense of safety and balance.

Psychedelic-assisted therapy is an expanded state of consciousness—known as a non-ordinary state of consciousness (NOSC)—that engages the brain’s natural capacity for change through enhanced neuroplasticity. In these states, old patterns can loosen, opening space for new perspectives, emotional release, and transformation. With preparation and integration, psychedelics can help you move through what has felt blocked and open into new ways of being.

In my practice, I offer Cannabis- and Ketamine-assisted therapies (with physician approval) alongside psychotherapy. These sessions bring unconscious emotions and patterns into awareness, supporting release, insight, and growth beyond symptom management.

Additionally, I offer harm-reduction preparation and psychedelic integration therapy— whether your journey unfolds in my office, in ceremony elsewhere, at home, or in another clinical setting outside of my office.

My approach blends somatic practices with a mythopoetic lens. Together, we may draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), breathwork, ritual, mindfulness, story, myth, and poetry to uncover the deeper meaning within your experience. Our work invites you to integrate both insight and symbolism into daily life—deepening self-understanding, transformation, and a more authentic relationship with yourself

Breathwork offer powerful pathways to calm the mind and reconnect with the body. With training in Grof® Legacy Holotropic Breathwork, I guide you to use the breath as a bridge—helping you access deeper states of awareness and healing. Through meditative visualizations synchronized with your breath, you learn to soothe tension, regulate your nervous system, and open doors to profound somatic exploration.

Together, we cultivate presence and mindfulness, creating space to observe sensations and emotions without judgment. This gentle, embodied practice supports emotional release, greater self-awareness, and a grounded connection to your inner experience—laying the foundation for lasting transformation.

Transpersonal therapy supports what’s often called a spiritual emergence—a process where non-ordinary states of consciousness (through meditation, breathwork, dreams, psychedelic experiences, or spontaneous spiritual openings) bring profound shifts in awareness. These experiences can awaken a sense of meaning, connection, and creativity, yet they may also feel overwhelming, destabilizing, or difficult to integrate into daily life.

In our work, we approach these moments with reverence for both their psychological and spiritual dimensions. Through somatic practices, mindfulness, and creative exploration, I help you anchor what’s unfolding—transforming intense or disorienting experiences into sources of inner wisdom, presence, and purpose.
