Healing Matters Psychotherapy

When we are able to feel authentically connected to our whole selves and others, optimal healing can occur and result in transformative experiences such as clarity, calmness, vitality, contentment, openness, creativity, generosity, and truth. I view the therapeutic space as an opportunity for connection, activation of innate healing resources, and transformative experiences. My clients’ healing is my priority; however, I am very aware that we are both transformed. I am honored to have the opportunity to witness and have profound experiences with people who choose to allow me on their journey toward healing and growth. There are many different reasons that people seek therapy. Some of the reasons are past traumas, relationship difficulties, stress, life transitions, grief, depression, and anxiety. I have found that regardless of the reason that people come to see me, they are all searching for authentic connection to self and others, ability to tolerate and soothe distress, and happiness from within. My therapeutic approach is based on the premise that mind, body, and emotions interact with and influence one another and optimal healing requires that treatment address all three. I use a variety of methods aimed at harmonizing the connection between thoughts, sensations, and feelings. I also work from an understanding that individual, cultural, and societal factors influence health and the healing process. I also provide consultation and education services to mental health providers on a variety of topics including, trauma and ptsd, multicultural competence, sexual assault/domestic violence, immigrant populations, and Muslim American populations.
