What We Offer

Therapeutic Modalities

Talk Therapy

Individual and couples therapy grounded in Gestalt principles — present-focused, relational, and oriented toward genuine growth and self-discovery.

Gestalt Therapy

A present-focused, experiential approach that works with what is alive right now — your sensations, emotions, and relational patterns — to foster genuine awareness and growth.

IFS Therapy

Internal Family Systems — a compassionate framework for understanding the different "parts" of yourself, helping you heal inner conflicts and access your core Self.

Ecotherapy

Therapy sessions held outdoors in the parks and natural spaces of Santa Cruz — harnessing the healing power of nature alongside the therapeutic process.

Trauma & EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — an evidence-based approach for healing trauma and PTSD at a deeper neurological level, without relying solely on talk.

Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and preparation/integration support for psychedelic experiences — expanding the possibilities for deep healing and transformation.

Equine Therapy

Therapeutic work alongside horses — a powerful somatic modality that supports emotional regulation, connection, and healing in ways that words alone cannot reach.

Somatic Therapy

Body-centered approaches that work with sensation, breath, and movement to help you access and release what the mind alone cannot resolve.

Sound Therapy

The use of sound, vibration, and resonance to support nervous system regulation, deep relaxation, and states of inner stillness that open the door to healing.
