Integral Therapy

I graduated from California Institute of Integral Studies with a Masters in Integral Counseling Psychology. Therefore, I take an integral approach. What this means to me, though, is that your therapy experience with me be a blend of different modalities, tools & skillsets tailored to your specific needs in any moment. My knowledge and wisdom is institutional & ancestral. I follow my intuition around what medicine to bring forward in our work together.

I received my Master's degree from the California Institute of Integral Studies, with a concentration in Integral Counseling Psychology. Integral therapy begins with the assumption that all people are capable of change, and that wholeness is our natural state of being. Within this frame, the process of therapy includes reestablishing a sense of connection to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us.

Integral therapy, similar to holistic therapy, is a therapeutic practice that takes an integrative approach and looks at the connections between a client’s mind, body and spirit. Like other types of mindfulness-based therapy, integral therapy is designed to help a client’s attention focus on the present moment and achieve clarity. Integral therapists use multiple approaches to addresses issues and encourage self-awareness and self-acceptance in clients.

Grief Counseling consists of 50-minute, one-on-one sessions that help you work through your concerns. In addition to listening, I will share thoughts when it's helpful and provide guidance based on my training and experience as a grief counselor.

Integral Psychotherapy involves the application of Ken Wilber’s AQAL model in the world of psychotherapy. The result is a meta-orientation – a way to connect the central ideas and interventions of the world’s major approaches to psychotherapy. The goal of Integral Psychotherapy is to help us move beyond the limits of postmodern thinking into a truly comprehensive, holistic understanding of mental health and well-being.

This stems from a mind-body-soul approach, where everything matters and the approaches are holistic in that everything is considered. I am trained and received my Masters in Integral Counseling Psychology. This includes somatic work, depth psychology, an emphasis on relationship and behavior, and as well as working with meaning and transpersonal themes, an awareness and importance on environmental, systemic factors, and incorporating current neuropsychological understandings.

“I heal in parts because systemic dis-ease took me apart.” - Dr. Jennifer Mulan, Decolonizing Therapy, author, therapist, community organizer My belief in the therapeutic process is that it is a tool in helping to integrate various pieces of our experience that have been forced to dissociate due to stress, trauma & systemic oppressions. We’ll pace our work at your rhythm in order to process various feelings and experiences, intentionally connecting & integrating them into your whole being.

We all have been told half truths over our lives. These messages ring loud in the background of our minds. Lets get together and learn to tell ourselves the correct messages.

I am an integrative therapist - using a combination of clinical assessment and intuition to co-create the best intervention for your treatment and healing. We may employ Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Experiential approaches, Parts Work or Mindfulness depending on your goals and personality.
