Meet Aura...

I know you can achieve freedom from your past...

This is where it all starts, for me.  No matter what you've been through, no matter what you've tried before...I believe in the unstoppable movement of the human brain and spirit towards healing.  I know it's possible for you.  Don't worry if you don't yet trust fully that you have this ability; you can borrow my confidence in you as we work to build your own.

 

I work with the body and the nervous system.

I am an experiential and somatic-focused therapist, and I am deeply trained in a variety of trauma processing modalities and tools.  I use deep listening, EMDR, IFS/parts work, hypnosis, and other somatic modalities to help my clients achieve profound and lasting change. I also incorporate ancestor work, energy work, and spiritual work if desired by clients. Focusing on somatic approaches means that we will likely spend time getting outside of your everyday, cognitive approach to problem-solving, and practicing accessing the wisdom in your body, nervous system, and inner knowing.  There will still be time for problem-solving and more cognitive approaches when it's helpful!

My entire work is based on this simple fact: I believe you can heal, completely.
