Insight oriented therapy is an approach that focuses on exploring your internal world, becoming curious about that world and how it operates. To understand the inner workings of the mind, we will together look at past experiences and how this affects the present you. This is a way of bringing awareness to the parts of you that have been wanting to be seen. Diving deeper and choosing to look inward is a brave journey that can offer empowerment and help in finding peace in coming to know who you are.
A Look Inside
Insight oriented therapy sounds pretty abstract right? Let’s break down what this could look like in session.
Talk Therapy allows for exploration and processing of your experiences and interpretations of these experiences. Supplements to talk therapy may include Dream Work, use of Art, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Active Imagination.

So glad you stopped by! Here is a little more info about who I am. I am a southern California native, a cat lover and one who enjoys diving into a good book.

Consultation Call
It is brave and courageous to take this first step of reaching out. Consultation calls are always free and take about 15 minutes. They’re an opportunity for us to chat for a few minutes to get to know you more, understand your needs and see how I can offer support. You can ask me any questions you have, and I’ll ask you a little about what you’re looking for. From there, you can take some time to think about it or we can get you scheduled for your first session. I look forward to hearing from you.
