“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” -C. Jung

As lifelong students of Pluralism, we believe that our psychological and physiological wounds are also paths to our gifts and spiritual liberation. We truly believe that all people have an innate healing capacity and through compassion, we can navigate to the other side of shame. We have worked extensively with issues of childhood and adult traumas and how these painful experiences have affected how we relate to ourselves and others.

With awareness and sensitivity to both personal and cultural forces, we strive first and foremost to create a safe, welcoming space for you to explore all aspects and parts of yourself. We aim to work from a decolonized lens, gently inviting awareness of how pathologizing, individualistic, and oppressive social structures cause suffering and impacts how one relates to one’s sense of self. What we offer is an approach to healing that ultimately results in remembering of a more authentic, complex self and what really matters to you outside of capitalistic subjugation. We are flexible to what you personally need, constructing therapy based on what works to relieve suffering, develop insight, and foster growth.

The foundation of our approach is fostering mindful awareness, relational safety, and integrating somatic approaches and guided imagery. In a paced and gradual way, we will focus on uncovering wounds through depth work and mind-body based approaches for exploring your self (“Parts Work”) and help you build your physiological and emotional capacity (using Somatic Experiencing®) to safely process and renegotiate wounds in an embodied way. We will also use self-compassion approaches and may incorporate holistic practices like breathwork, going out into nature, and recommending consciousness-expanding books and music. We believe firmly in the spiral path rather than a linear one. We believe we come back around again and again to old wounds to learn to be with them with ever more awareness, compassion, acceptance, and choice.

We are especially passionate about working with people who are open, willing to do deep work, and who truly want to change even if that means letting go of certain identities, relationships, and ways of being. We also enjoy working with those who are interested in using therapy to explore topics such as having a life of meaning, creativity, and spiritual development. Our style is warm, non-judgmental, attachment-oriented, and trauma-informed.

Our Specialities

  • SE® is a paced, body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma, PTSD, and other stress disorders. SE supports healing through tracking subtle bodily sensations, releasing stored survival energy, and restoring a sense of safety, ease, and connection. SE offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight or freeze responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states. This helps to facilitate completion of self-protective motor responses and the release of thwarted survival energy bound in the body, thus addressing the root cause of trauma symptoms. Sessions involve a client tracking their own experience & offer a bottom up approach by gently guiding clients to develop increasing tolerance for difficult bodily sensations and suppressed emotions. Sessions also often involve touch work to help further facilitate movement in the physiology towards healing.

    SE works well with all kinds of trauma, including early developmental attachment wounds, all forms of abuse and neglect, motor vehicle accidents, medical traumas, war traumas, assaults, and natural disasters.

    Somatic Experiencing Can Help You:

    • Develop the skills to navigate triggers and overwhelming experiences with more stability and choice.

    • Learn to identify, communicate, and honor your wants, needs, preferences, and boundaries.

    • Explore habitual and conditioned patterns of relating, reacting, numbing, and avoiding—so you can shift away from survival-based responses and move toward greater regulation and choice.

    • Integrate past experiences without becoming overwhelmed.

    • Cultivate a deeper connection with your body’s signals to foster self-trust.

    • Strengthen your ability to experience pleasure, joy, and connection by expanding your window of tolerance.

      Dr. Samadhi is a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP).

  • Parts work acknowledges the “multiple” quality of the mind—the many experiences, feelings, values, and opinions an individual can simultaneously hold—and approaches the work done in sessions through a systems-thinking lens. The parts approaches we draw from include ancestral animistic lineages, Voice Dialogue, and Jungian archetypes. Our approach focuses on getting to know the various "parts" of you and how these parts work together as a protective system to care for you. Our job in therapy is to help parts recognize that sometimes the beliefs they hold, the actions they take, and overwhelming feelings they have are based on something from the past that is no longer happening. We work together to help heal wounded parts to help other parts transform the way they operate inside you. The purpose of of parts work ultimately is to reintegrate these parts into a healthy, functioning whole. We do not ascribe to IFS as we believe this model is inherently dualistic and pathology-based in nature.

  • Our harm reduction approach includes education and resource information; exploring potential risks and benefits of altered states of consciousness; set, setting, and safety planning; setting intention; access to supportive local community resources.

    During post-psychedelic integration sessions, we work with clients to gain meaning and growth following invigorating, challenging, or disorienting psychedelic experiences. We appreciate and respect the use of psychedelics for inspiring transformation in oneself and one’s world. We also recognize that numerous non-psychedelic therapy modalities and non-ordinary states of consciousness can lead to life-altering revelations. We, therefore, offer mindfulness-based practices and welcome creative expression, mind-body awareness, and spiritual exploration into our work with clients. We view our role as a collaborator on our clients’ healing journeys and greatly value the opportunity to offer support as life stories evolve including addressing existential and psycho-spiritual issues. Our approach to integration is rooted in curiosity, exploration, and discovery.
