Supervision
Experience and Area of Focus
I am an LPC-MHSP with the approved supervisor designation, licensed and approved to provide supervision to those pursuing LPC or LPC-MHSP licensure in the state of Tennessee.
I am a somatic therapist, which means apart from talk therapy I focus heavily on body-centered methods for releasing and repairing trauma and frozen experience, for unwinding old patterns of relating, and for healing depression, anxiety, attachment wounds and other issues.
Somatic therapy involves attuning to where the client is holding frozen experiences in their body, and attuning to the physical and energetic way that patterns are maintained within the being and keep us stuck, helping the client release frozen experiences, and also helping the client develop more sensitivity to this aspect of their inner experience at the same time as they develop more resilience and resources.
I incorporate parts work (IFS) and techniques from somatic experiencing, as well as polyvagal theory.
I am a certified Brainspotting practitioner, and a fully certified teacher of the Realization Process, an embodied approach to nondual awakening and psychological healing. I often integrate these two powerful methods.
I am bilingual in English and Spanish and provide therapy in both languages.
My supervision style heavily incorporates the person of the therapist model, and does so from a somatic perspective, meaning that within the container of supervision there is an ongoing experiential inquiry into what is evoked within you during the process of providing therapy, and how to deepen your therapeutic presence to become increasingly grounded, receptive, and less entangled with the pain of the client.
Being a therapist can be incredibly healing work, and much of growing as a therapist involves doing your own healing work and learning how to get more and more out of the way of what wants to emerge in session (not just getting out of the way intellectually, but through the depths of yourself.)
Supervision also includes staffing cases and skill development.
