Treatment Modalities

Decolonial therapy acknowledged how the personal is political. Our trauma, pain, grief, and experiences of human suffering do not exist in a vacuum. Decolonial therapy confronts and addresses the deep wounds of colonization, acknowledging how this is an ancestral wound, a collective wound, and one that has ben carried through our family lineages in the form of intergenerational trauma. I work alongside you to reclaim your power, relationship to land, spirit, community, and self. Addressing the trauma at its root, de-pathologizing, and affirming indigenous forms of healing.

Liberation centered therapy takes into consideration the unique experiences of people from historically exploited, harmed, and oppressed groups. Space is made to explore the way your intersecting identities influence the problems that bring you into therapy. Reconnecting with yourself and community in a radically self-loving, compassionate, and tender way in a world that demands callousness and disconnection, thanks to systemic forms of oppression. Liberation therapy helps to affirm and strengthen resistance to damaging social narratives in order to find healing, balance, and rest.

Trauma Informed Therapy recognizes and makes space for how past and or current trauma effects your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual, well-being. Together we work to identify, process, and heal the painful experiences that may be holding you back or keeping you stuck. We will work to re-build a sense of safety by utilizing tools and strategies to help you heal and reclaim your life. I also utilize an attachment lens to look at the ways our trauma impacts our ability to feel safe and secure, communicate, regulate, set boundaries, and more in relationship. Most of our trauma happens in relationship therefore I believe healing needs to happen in relationship.

Mindfulness based therapy helps us increase our tolerance and compassionate acceptance towards our thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. Mindfulness introduces a non-judgemental awareness of our experience in the here and now. This can help you get unstuck from unhelpful, overwhelming, or destructive patterns and create lasting resilience. Mindfulness teaches you how to be present with difficult emotions, thoughts, and sensations, while increasing your ability to cope with them, so they no longer overwhelm you. I often incorporate inner child healing work with a mindfulness based approach keeping you grounded and centered while you connect to painful moments of the past to rewrite the narratives and create lasting change.
