Techniques and Treatment Modalities That I Utilize in My Integrative Therapy Practice

Throughout the course of therapy, I draw from a broad range of both evidence-based and holistic integrative approaches to meet the needs and goals of each individual, couple, or group. Rooted in deep attunement and relational safety, my work is grounded in both lived experience and professional training.

At its core, my therapeutic style is trauma-informed, body-based, soul-centered, and holistically integrative—honoring the emotional, cognitive, physical, relational, sexual, and spiritual dimensions of healing. While these modalities provide structure and support, the true agent of change is the client’s willingness and capacity to engage in the process, both in and out of session.

SOMATIC TRAUMA HEALING & INTEGRATION

As the foundational lens for all my work, somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing trauma and restoring nervous system regulation. Drawing from Somatic Experiencing®, Polyvagal Theory, and Interpersonal Neurobiology, I help clients reconnect with the innate intelligence of their bodies. Together we track the physiological imprints of trauma—such as freeze, fawn, collapse, hyperarousal, or shutdown—and create space for the body to metabolize and release what has been held. With safety, pacing, and attunement, we support the re-emergence of the body’s natural rhythm, resilience, and capacity to feel. 

SOMATIC TOUCH & BODYWORK

As a licensed massage therapist with additional training in craniosacral therapy and somatic trauma resolution, and with licensure as a massage therapist, I offer somatic touch as a complementary therapy when clinically appropriate (during in-person intensives only). This work helps regulate the nervous system, support developmental repair, and release pain or holding patterns connected to unresolved trauma. Somatic touch is always consensual, trauma-informed, and approached with therapeutic integrity.

RELATIONSHIP THERAPY

For women in intimate relationships, I offer direct, compassionate communication, emotional honesty, and the creation of secure, functioning dynamics. This work incorporates neuroscience, attachment theory, somatic awareness, and relational repair. I also work with couples (on a limited case-by-case basis) through challenges with communication, intimacy, trust, sexual connection, and life transitions.

INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS (IFS) / PARTS WORK

Many clients come to therapy feeling fragmented, reactive, or at war with themselves. In Parts Work, we explore these inner conflicts through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), identifying protector parts, wounded parts, and accessing the Self—our core source of wisdom and healing. This modality is especially powerful when integrated with somatic work and trauma resolution, helping clients build internal cohesion and self-leadership. 

KETAMINE-ASSISTED THERAPY & PSYCHEDELIC INTEGRATION

I am trained in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) through Journey Clinical and FLUENCE, with advanced knowledge in trauma, non-ordinary states, and transpersonal psychology. Ketamine therapy can be a profound adjunct for clients navigating treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, burnout, or chronic trauma. I also support clients in preparing for or integrating experiences with other psychedelic medicines. While Ketamine is currently legal for therapeutic use, other substances like MDMA and psilocybin are still pending FDA approval. All medicine work is approached with care, consent, preparation, pre-journey preparation, and post-journey integration.

HYPNOTHERAPY (CLINICAL & SPIRITUAL)

Hypnotherapy allows access to the subconscious layers of experience where core beliefs, traumas, and patterns live. As a certified advanced clinical and spiritual hypnotherapist, I use trance states to support healing at a deep level — helping clients reclaim confidence, shift limiting patterns, and connect with inner guidance. Hypnotherapy can be a stand-alone modality or integrated with other therapeutic tools. Research shows hypnotherapy has a 93% success rate after six sessions, making it a powerful catalyst for change.

ADVANCED SEXUAL TRAUMA HEALING & PLEASURE EMBODIMENT

Drawing on the latest research on authentic consent, somatic trauma healing and integration, and trauma-informed pleasure, I support individuals and couples to reconnect with their bodies as safe, sovereign, and sacred. This work includes cultivating capacity for pleasure, working through blocks to intimacy, and re-patterning internalized shame. Clients often report a renewed relationship to sensuality, self-worth, boundaries, and sexual expression as part of their therapeutic journey.

SEX, PLEASURE & EMBODIMENT THERAPY

I hold advanced training in somatic sex therapy, embodiment practices, and sexual trauma resolution. I support individuals and couples in reclaiming their relationship to desire, boundaries, sensuality, and sexual self-expression. Informed by sexology, somatic psychology, and spiritual perspectives, I work with clients navigating desire discrepancies, pelvic pain, religious sexual trauma, sex work, kink, neurodivergence, and identity exploration. All expressions of sexual and relational experience are welcome and held with reverence and non-judgment.

ENERGY MEDICINE & INTEGRATIVE SOUL WORK

With advanced training in subtle energy systems, spiritual psychology, and intuitive development, I also work on the energetic level when appropriate. Whether processing a spiritual awakening, navigating a dark night of the soul, or intuitive development, I offer an approach that honors the soul’s unfolding. Through deep listening, laser-honed intuitive attunement, and energetic resonance, I help clients realign with their purpose, path, and personal power.

AROMA POINT THERAPY™

As a practitioner of Aroma Point Therapy™ (APT), developed by Tiffany Carole, I work with the energetic and physiological effects of essential oils placed on specific acupuncture points. This gentle yet powerful modality supports emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and somatic release. Clients often experience deep calm, clarity, and spiritual connection. APT is used as an optional adjunct to psychotherapy and is especially helpful for highly sensitive clients.

INTEGRATIVE THERAPY APPROACH

In every session, I draw from an extensive and evolving toolkit, which includes:

• Somatic Trauma Healing

• Attachment Repair

• Shadow Work & Imaginal Psychology

• Integral & Archetypal Frameworks

• Energy Psychology

• Hypnotherapy

• Interpersonal Neurobiology

• Existential, Relational, and Feminist Perspectives

• Sexuality & Embodiment Therapies

• Transpersonal and Depth-Oriented Work

• Psychedelic Therapy and Integration

This integrative, holistic (whole-making) approach allows me to meet each client where they are, while crafting a treatment process that honors the complexity of human experience and the sacredness of each individual’s path.
