"The body doesn’t lie. It holds the memory of every experience we’ve had, and when we listen to it, we can heal."
-Peter Levine
Theraputic Technqiues
Brainspotting Therapy
Brainspotting therapy helps process trauma and emotional pain by using eye positions to access emotional memories. It feels like a deep, focused meditation, where you tune into sensations and embodied emotions while being supported by the therapist as trauma releases naturally. Often described as a combination of EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, it supports integrative somatic and neurobiological healing.
Sandtray Therapy
Sandtray therapy allows individuals to make their inner world external by creating scenes in a sandtray using miniature figurines. This process helps express complex emotions, thoughts, and experiences through metaphors and symbols, especially when words fail to communicate. As a client, it feels like a safe, nonverbal way to explore and make sense of yourself, offering a unique opportunity to reflect, process, and gain insights into one's emotional world.
Expressive Arts Therapy
Expressive arts therapy is an intermodal approach that uses creative activities—like drawing, music, movement, and writing—to explore emotions and identity and promote healing. It encourages a low-skill, process-oriented experience that doesn’t require artistic talent. Engaging in the arts can induce an altered state of consciousness, helping individuals access deeper feelings and insights beyond verbal expression.
Parts Work Therapy
Parts work is a therapeutic approach based on the idea that we all have different parts of ourselves, each with its own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. These parts can include a critical inner voice, a scared, helpless part, or a nurturing, cartaking part. Parts work helps individuals understand and integrate these parts, leading to a peaceful internal system. By fostering compassion for all aspects of oneself, it promotes self-awareness and self-compassion, helping to heal inner conflicts and create a more harmonious Self.
