Therapeutic Approach
Healing is not just about understanding what happened to you. It is about slowly rebuilding safety inside your body, rewriting old relational patterns, and learning to trust yourself again. My approach integrates evidence-based therapy with holistic, somatic, and creative practices to support the nervous system, deepen self-awareness, and reconnect you with your inner voice.
I believe therapy should feel human and grounded in curiosity. Together, we will work at your pace, with room for emotion, meaning, and the parts of you that have never felt fully seen.
I draw from:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-
Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE)
-
Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Narrative Therapy
-
Attachment Theory
-
Ecological Systems Theory
-
Somatic & body-based regulation
-
Mindfulness + grounding practices
-
Expressive + creative modalities
-
Trauma-informed care
My role is to help you move from survival into presence, from self-doubt into self-trust, and toward a life that feels more grounded, empowered, and fully yours.
Why The Willow
The Willow Tree represents resilient softness. Its branches bend with the wind, yet the roots hold strong beneath the surface. Willows grow in the places waters gather, transforming what feels heavy into nourishment.
At Harmony Roots Therapy, The Willow symbolizes:
-
Grounding during emotional storms
-
Flexibility and compassion in the healing process
-
Deep roots in culture, identity, ancestry, and lived experience
-
Softness without losing strength
It reflects the belief that your story, your body, and your roots already carry wisdom—and that therapy is a return to that wisdom, not a departure from it.
