Holistic therapy for deep transformation and wellbeing - Integrating trauma informed EMDR, meditation, somatic work, and self-compassion, practices to help you rebalance and thrive.
Welcome!
“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” - Gandhi
Welcome to a place where you can begin your healing journey. I’m Pia, a therapist who specializes in holistic, mind-body-spirit practices. Here you will find an integrative approach that honors your unique journey, blending evidence-based therapies like EMDR with the transformative power of somatic work, meditation, self-compassion and yoga practices for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma.
I offer mindful movement and somatic healing to allow you to experience the benefits of body-based therapies to release tension and cultivate awareness, meditation and breathwork to support you in learning powerful techniques to regulate your nervous system, self-compassion to allow you to develop a nurturing relationship with your thoughts and feelings as you embark on the path to recovery and growth, and EMDR to work through past traumas and reach genuine healing in a safe and supportive environment.
Every individual’s healing path is unique, and my approach is designed to meet you exactly where you are - providing a compassionate, integrative process to help you rediscover balance, inner peace, and resilience. If you are ready to take the next step towards joy, well-being, and connection, I invite you to explore my services and schedule a free consultation. Let’s work together to unlock your inner potential and create a life of deeper connection and fulfillment.
