Brainspotting
Brainspotting locates points in the individual’s visual field that helps to access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain. Brainspotting therapy can work for everyone. Brainspotting gives the therapist access to both the brain and body. The goal is to bypass the conscious thinking processes of the neo-cortex to get to the deeper more emotional and body-based processes from the sub-cortex part of the brain. Brainspotting can be the primary mode of treatment or it can be integrated in with the expertise that is already being provided. - taken from brainspotting.com.
​
Brainspotting can be a helpful modality to use when we feel stuck and as if talk therapy and other forms of help do not feel as if they are creating relief. One of things I like about Brainspotting is that we do not need specific memories in order to work through our dis-ease. rather, we can vocalize our distress and use brainspotting to move through the activation.

Energy Healing
My energy healing work is rooted in both Reiki, a Japanese form of energy healing created by Dr. Mikao Usui, and my Persian Ancestry with healing tools passed down from my lineage. Energy work can help decrease stress, release stagnant energy, relieve the body of pain, promote deep relaxation, ease muscle tension, strengthen the immune system, and energize/balance the whole body.
An Energy Healing session is 45 minutes long and will consist of a check-in before and after the energy healing session. During the healing session, I will place my hands either on or slightly above you while you are laying or sitting down. People may notice tingling, twitching, temperature change, pulsation, and/or relaxation throughout their body during and after sessions.
If you feel drawn to Energy Healing but have questions, please reach out to me.

Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-oriented approach to the treatment of trauma and other mental health struggles. During SE sessions, we use the nervous system to help move people through and out of survival responses. SE is based on the idea that trauma is caused by anything and everything that occurs too fast and too much, as well as too slow and not enough, and prevents the nervous system from re-organizing. In SE, we will work on your body’s physiological response to events, as well as your emotional and cognitive experience. Somatic Experiencing can be used to aid in the healing from PTSD, depression, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, chronic pain, auto-immune disorders, and many other elements causing
dis-ease in our lives.

Plant Medicine Integration & Ketamine Assisted Therapy
Plant medicine (psychedelic and non) is becoming increasingly popular in Western society as a healing modality for many holistic struggles. My practice holds space for individuals to process their experiences with plant medicine (and other psychotropic substances) while using therapeutic techniques including somatic experiencing and energy healing. While working with plant medicine, I honor the indigenous people who discovered the medicine of these plants and shared their knowledge with the world, and I encourage clients to do the same. Please note this practice serves as a space for those who actively, or are wanting to, integrate these medicines into their own journey, I do not prescribe or promote the use of plant medicine.

I also offer ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP) services, please contact me for more information.
*Cost $200 per 55 minute session
