Mindfulness practices allow one to be in the present moment (not in the past or future) without judgement. There is a sense of acceptance of the present which calms the nervous system and creates a sense of peace. From this place there is greater clarity and ease in navigating life.

Understanding the impact of childhood and adulthood relationships can ultimately create an opportunity to learn new ways to engage with others from a centered and empowered place. Attachment work in counseling helps create a greater sense of safety so connecting with others can be more authentic and joyful.

Listening to the body to understand mental, physical and emotional processes paves the way for emotion regulation, self-awareness, and overall well-being. In counseling we can explore together how your inner somatic world offers information that can help you navigate life.

Brain processing to release trauma, bound in the brain stem, which includes somatic awareness and mindfulness. This effective approach can support the reprocessing of traumatic memories, retrain emotional responses, and lead to significant relief and improved mental health. Talk therapy is minimal with brainspotting and there is an emphasis on bodily sensation. Brain spotting is more client led than therapist led, allowing the client to be empowered in their own process.

Integration is key in receiving the most benefit from a psychedelic journey. Along with integration, I explore with clients how to safely journey and create the best setting for a positive experience. I have 20 years of personal experience in the psychedelic world which can be invaluable for someone new to this exploration.

The main piece of integration is post-care which explores how to integrate the experience of the journey into daily life so that the lessons learned are carried forward.  I believe the biggest part of a journey is in how one processes insights gained, revelations, and creates new neural pathways. 

Sometimes journeys may be challenging and old traumas may resurface or emotional turmoil can occur. Having an integration therapist who can hold space, be a guide and is understanding of the process offers deep reassurance that you are not alone. 

You live life 90% from the unconscious. There are constant messages in the subconscious that dictate how you operate in life that you are not fully aware of. Hypnotherapy allows you to address the deeper messages in the subconscious that get in the way of living the life you want.

Examples of these messages may evolve around low self-esteem, lack of confidence, inability to accomplish a task or activity, limiting beliefs in general, etc. Hypnotherapy access the messages in the subconscious and begins to create a new and different message that supports a healthier and happier life. We co-create a custom hypnotherapy script, using your languaging, that engages all your senses to change deep patterns of dysfunction.

After hypnotherapy session and listening to the recording at home you will notice a shift in how you view tasks that once seemed daunting or you will begin to see yourself as more capable and confident.
