Services
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy addresses emotional and mental health challenges through evidence-based techniques tailored to individual needs. Our practice combines somatic and transpersonal approaches to treat anxiety, depression, and trauma. Clients gain tools to enhance resilience, regulate emotions, and improve interpersonal relationships while working collaboratively with a licensed therapist.
Trauma Counseling
Specialized trauma counseling utilizes Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to resolve shock and developmental trauma. We address PTSD symptoms, chronic stress, and complex trauma through body-focused interventions that restore physiological regulation. Clients learn to process traumatic memories safely and rebuild emotional stability.
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing treats trauma by resolving survival responses trapped in the nervous system. This method reduces symptoms like hypervigilance and emotional numbness by guiding clients through gradual exposure to bodily sensations. Sessions promote self-regulation and release trauma-induced physiological patterns.
Emotional Freedom Techniques
EFT combines meridian tapping with cognitive exposure to alleviate anxiety, phobias, and emotional distress. This energy psychology technique reduces emotional reactivity while addressing underlying trauma. Clients learn self-applied protocols to manage stress and transform negative thought patterns.
Anxiety Treatment
Our anxiety treatment integrates somatic awareness and cognitive strategies to address generalized anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias. Clients develop tools to regulate nervous system activation, challenge maladaptive thought patterns, and reduce physical symptoms like insomnia and muscle tension through personalized therapeutic approaches.
