Integrative Psychotherapy

My therapeutic approach is integrative, transformative, emotion-focused, and relational using the most advanced evidence based therapeutic techniques. I offer a range of therapeutic modalities to provide each client with a rich set of resources for healing. Cutting edge research in the field of neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology affirm that the integration of the modalities that I apply in my practice build resilience and open new dimensions for healing. Resilience is not a trait that you either have or do not have; it is a set of strategies that can be learned and practiced.

Most therapeutic approaches leave the body out of the equation. I believe that mind body integration is crucial for the healing process and therefore I treat the whole person integrating all parts of the authentic self. I specialize in applying an integrative-holistic therapeutic framework to psychotherapy and mental health. It facilitates deep and meaningful therapeutic process leading to lasting results in significantly less time

Trauma is often stored in the non-language parts of the brain that cannot be accessed by traditional talk therapy alone. Integrative psychotherapy combines talk therapy with somatic oriented psychotherapy techniques to address the entire person, tapping into areas where trauma is stored unlocking deeply rooted pervasive wounds that complex trauma leaves behind. My unique integrative approach goes beyond symptom reduction and moves toward transformation that allows healing to take place leading to post-traumatic growth. The brilliance of integrative psychotherapy is the ability to directly intervene by developing new neural pathways and behaviors that provide alternative ways of responding to the environment without getting stuck in the habits of the past.
