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.

No one person is the same therefore no one treatment should be utilized for every person. My experience in integral therapy is meeting the client where they are and adjusting the therapeutic approach accordingly so that they receive the best care to meet their needs.

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.

Use a psychopharmacological approach.

Integral psychotherapy proposes that all insights on life contain partial truths and that weaving together a range of cultural, psychological, socioeconomic, biological, spiritual, and behavioral perspectives can offer hope for healing, increased mindfulness, and social and cultural evolution. Integral approach draws from several theoretical orientations, leaning heavily on theories of transpersonal psychology. An integral approach embraces an attitude towards that affirms the inherent value of each individual. It is a unifying psychotherapy that responds appropriately and effectively to the person at the affective, behavioral, cognitive, and physiological levels of functioning, and addresses as well the spiritual dimension of life. Integral refers to the process of integrating the personality: taking disowned, unaware, or unresolved aspects of the self and making them part of a cohesive self. It is the process of making whole.

All our parts make us whole.

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.

My approach is unique to each person yet with a similar thread: that is, to ultimately help to unveil the wisdom that is already within you. I work with individuals, couples and groups within a framework of Transpersonal, Psychodynamic, Family Systems, Humanistic-Existential, Body-Oriented, and Expressive Art approaches to psychotherapy.

I completed my Master's at the California Institute of Integral Psychology with a degree in integral counseling psychology. My training focused on modalities such as transpersonal psychotherapy, sensorimotor psychotherapy, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and somatic therapy.

“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.
