My Approach
Being a trauma therapist who is also a medium and energy healer is a unique gift I get to share. I have found a way to combine all three so our work together includes trauma informed care, evidence based modalities, and focuses on healing the energy in your body. I have trained and continue to hone my skills in Internal Family Systems, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and reiki energy healing.
Treatment Modalities
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS is a non-pathologizing approach to understanding the intimate workings of your internal system. With IFS, your self energy, and my guidance we will work to identify, befriend, witness, and help the “parts” of you that bring you distress to gain clarity, compassion, and connection to their experiences, patterns of behavior, and drive for acting as a protector for you. In this process, you will be able to release past traumatic experiences, negative limiting beliefs, and old stuck energy for symptom relief and improvement. IFS is helpful for those suffering from PTSD, C-PTSD, attachment trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, relationship issues, and/or chronic pain. IFS can also assist with spiritual growth as well as preparation and integration of psychedelic experiences.
IFS is an experiential model and can sometimes feel like a deep meditation or trance-like state. The IFS framework can also be held in a “talk therapy” format as we learn about the way your parts operate in your life. In both cases, I act as a supportive guide, helping you connect to your self energy who has the wisdom and warmth to help you map out and build trusting relationships with your individual parts.
Intuitive Reiki + IFS
This modality involves a combination of reiki energy healing, energy reading, and mediumship. By inviting me into your energetic field to receive reiki, I will also be able to find and connect to parts of your system that have become stagnant in your various energy bodies. “Parts” can be an emotion, body sensation, ruminating thought, chronic illness or disease. The parts that are processed during this session may be conscious or unconscious to you. With the assistance of reiki, the IFS frame work, and our combined self-energy, we will bring these parts further into your conscious awareness for deeper healing, part to self relationship building, and unburdening. Using intuitive reiki + IFS, I have helped clients unburden from severe traumatic experiences that resulted in PTSD and CPTSD. You can see some client reviews under the “coaching” tab.
Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration
With a growing interest in the benefits of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, I am passionate about the safe utilization of these medicines. As such, I utilize my learning from MAPS training to offer harm reduction education and preparation and my skill in IFS to help integrate psychedelic experiences.
Energy Reading and Mediumship
Being an intuitive psychotherapist means that by working together I am being invited into the depths of your energy field. When this happens, I may receive intuitive insights related to your healing. This can involve me feeling and identifying your various “parts”, feeling into the relationship dynamics you are working on, and/or receiving messages from the universe, a deceased loved one, or an ancestor. It is important to note that this does not happen in every session, or simply because I am in your energy. Any intuitive messaging I receive is for the highest good of your healing at that moment in time. My ultimate goal is to connect you to your own self energy and intuitive knowing.
Yoga | Breath Work | Meditation
By using movement (yin yoga), breath, and/or stillness, we will teach your nervous system how to access and find safety in being in a parasympathetic state (rest and digest). Establishing and remaining in a parasympathetic state is crucial for deep and lasting trauma work. When these are combined with IFS, we can help build a healthy and trusting relationship between you and your “parts”, as well as move and release stagnant energy. These experiential modalities can be used in combination with one another or individually.
Clinical Supervision
I have been a AZBBHE approved clinical supervisor since January 2023. I have experience supervising LAC’s in group practice where I taught how to case conceptualize using these modalities. I can offer consultation to any licensed professional who might be looking for extra guidance, looking to find their niche, or might be feeling stuck or blocked in their private practice.
