INDIVIDUALS (couples below): Energy Psychology is a group of self-calming practices involving breathing and touching one’s own face and body. Scientific studies and clinical experience are confirming that Energy Psychology can help with anxiety, relationships, and trauma. You will learn practices to calm down during a conflict, sleep better, or let go of things that bother you. These practices help you by enhancing nervous system regulation, changing the way your brain stores upsetting memories, and bringing in more happiness and focus. You'll learn practices to use at home, in moments of stress or to start your day on a good note

I have an extensive background in energy psychology, ritual, ceremony practice, as well as, traditional counseling psychology.
I specialize in supporting women during life transitions. This might be due to welcoming a new child into your home and relationship, life stage (perimenopause /menopause), ending a relationship or a chronic illness. You might be experiencing a sense that you have lost a part of yourself. Maybe your anxiety or depression is preventing you from enjoying your life fully, or feeling overwhelmed with how to move forward with the life that you want. Often during life's transitions it is a powerful time to take a pause and reflect. I am here to support you as a guide back to your own inner wisdom and path home to yourself.

You're longing for relief from high-stress levels, crushing anxiety, or depression. Your relationships are strained & you have difficulty setting boundaries. You feel like nobody understands you. You don't feel truly seen. You rely on avoidance to escape feeling this way. Except that it's no longer working.

Many people find themselves repeating the same patterns- reactive triggers, relational issues, struggles with addictions, moods, anxieties- even after years of therapy, and other body/mind practices. i have found that if we can identify one or more of these patterns (in daily life),we can follow the thread of each pattern to resolve it at its (oftentimes traumatic) roots. I help you to explore and transform one or more core patterns in your self and life, to develop new capacities and reawaken deep soul qualities. This body-experiential process enables you to release the energy bound within patterns- and recover your inner spirit.

Energy Psychology Therapists

What are the roots of energy psychology?

Energy psychology is a relatively new modality, yet it combines older techniques from both Eastern and Western medicine—talk therapy and exposure therapy from a Western orientation and energy fields and healing touch from an Eastern orientation. Although these techniques have long existed, they were developed into today’s form of energy psychology and brought to the fore in the 1980s by psychologists including Fred Gallo, Roger Callahan, and David Feinstein.

Is energy psychology a short-term therapy?

Energy psychology is a brief intervention, designed to provide relief to patients quickly. The exact number of sessions a patient requires varies depending on numerous factors, including the condition being treated, the technique being used, and the practitioner's approach. Some patients may begin to improve after only one session. Proponents of energy therapy point out that it is relatively easy to learn, so clients can practice some of the techniques on themselves at home, such as the acceptance, acupressure, and affirmations used in emotional freedom technique.

Does energy therapy work?

The exposure therapy techniques involved in energy psychology, such as recounting a traumatic experience to the therapist, are evidence-based and have long helped individuals address trauma, phobias, and anxiety. As a whole, the practice isn’t as validated as other techniques, but it may be healing for some. Energy psychology involves exposing a client to a distressing memory, object, or situation in the therapy room while providing acupressure or tapping to relieve distress, which is thought to lower the stress and arousal of the body that had become associated with the relevant stimulus.

What are the limitations of energy therapy?

A disadvantage of energy psychology is that the research supporting its effectiveness is not as robust as research supporting the effectiveness of other therapy types, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy, specifically the component of body tapping and touching. Some research on energy psychology has also been critiqued for being methodologically flawed.
