Visit our website SoulFloTherapy. com I am a body-centered therapist who specializes in working with complex trauma and emotion instability. Together we will get to a deeper understanding of diagnosis like PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, and adult ADHD. Therapy is a two-pong approach: the skills & tools to get you through the day-to-day; and psychodynamic work of getting to the root of the issues (trauma-informed lens). I combine DBT/CBT skills and tool to stabilize symptoms; with EMDR and IFS to make way for healing and a deeper understanding & connection to self. We do not just address the symptoms, we address the why.
My approach is collaborative & intentional. The majority of my work has been with veterans; addiction recovery; individuals & families struggling with personality disorders; and Asian-Americans (students, professionals, and couples). I also supervise wonderful Associate Therapists, whom I provide additional training and clinical support.
The healing process happens in and outside of the therapy room. Therapy should not be a recap of the week, sessions should build on top of one another. I encourage you to schedule a consult call. Looking for a therapist can be challenging, so I am pretty responsive to email. Even if we do not end up working together, I can support by referring you.

Therapy is a two-pong approach: the skills & tools to stabilize symptoms and get you through the day-to-day; and the psychodynamic work of getting to the root of the issues-oftentimes traumas and injuries that we have spent years trying to avoid. Sessions are not just simply asking how your day is, the goal is to identify deep seeded negative beliefs in order to understand them, and heal them.

Therapy might feel a little slow at first, but as a trauma-informed therapist, I am constantly picking up "data points" to explore. You can expect a lot of curiosity, clarification, and someone that is fully present with you. You have put your trust not only in the therapeutic process, but in me. I respect & honor that.
