Integral Therapy

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.

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.

Grief Counseling consists of 50-minute, one-on-one sessions that help you work through your concerns. In addition to listening, I will share thoughts when it's helpful and provide guidance based on my training and experience as a grief counselor.

Integral means to view from a holistic point of view. We are all biological, social, cultural, subjective, and spiritual creatures. When viewed from a holistic standpoint, a person gains greater agency and less blame. There are things that happen to us that occur from sociocultural and familial trauma, and there are things that happen within us in response to that event. That is where we have the agency to act and change. Meditation, breathwork, dreamwork, and psychedelic integration.

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.

This stems from a mind-body-soul approach, where everything matters and the approaches are holistic in that everything is considered. I am trained and received my Masters in Integral Counseling Psychology. This includes somatic work, depth psychology, an emphasis on relationship and behavior, and as well as working with meaning and transpersonal themes, an awareness and importance on environmental, systemic factors, and incorporating current neuropsychological understandings.

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.

Use a psychopharmacological approach.

Integral Psychotherapy involves the application of Ken Wilber’s AQAL model in the world of psychotherapy. The result is a meta-orientation – a way to connect the central ideas and interventions of the world’s major approaches to psychotherapy. The goal of Integral Psychotherapy is to help us move beyond the limits of postmodern thinking into a truly comprehensive, holistic understanding of mental health and well-being.
