Balance Your Life
Yoga Therapy and Psychotherapy in Oakland, CA
You are more than what you do for others.
Are you an empathetic soul, constantly putting others' needs before your own?
Do you find yourself drained from the weight of meeting everyone else's expectations, leaving little energy to nurture your own well-being?
Are you weary from the relentless pursuit of making everyone else happy, while your own well-being takes a backseat?
You are overwhelmed and exhausted.
You have been smiling through it all but can no longer pretend everything is fine.
You are fed up with other people’s bullshit, but you would probably never say anything about it.
At Interconnected Healing, I understand the journey of self-reliant idealists like you.
You aren’t meant to do this alone.
We live in a society that has taught us we are supposed to be fiercely independent (and wildly successful). We are taught that you are supposed to push through, shove it down, and be productive.
Unfortunately, humans don’t work like that. We have emotions. We need other humans—Even when we have learned through our experiences that trusting other humans can be scary and painful.
Our culture teaches us to ignore and avoid our emotions at the cost of our emotional well-being, our ability to build healthy relationships and connect deeply to the world around us.
Our power lies in building awareness of our internal world and knowing how to regulate it. When we learn to befriend our emotions, we know what to do with them, so they stop controlling us.
It can feel like things will never get better, but change is possible. With the right support, you can reclaim control of your life and navigate towards a brighter, more balanced future.
My Approach:
Somatic Therapy: Through gentle, body-centered techniques, we help you reconnect with your inner self, releasing stored tension and trauma held within the body. Our somatic approach empowers you to heal from within and reclaim ownership of your physical and emotional well-being.
Trauma Therapy: We offer a safe and nurturing environment where you can explore past experiences and overcome the lingering effects of trauma. Our trauma-informed approach honors your unique journey and supports you in building resilience and a grounded presence.
Therapy for Highly Sensitive People: As a highly sensitive person, your empathetic nature is both a gift and a challenge. Our specialized therapy provides tools and strategies to navigate life's complexities while honoring your sensitivity as a strength, not a weakness.
Why Work with Me:
Personalized Care: I recognize and honor your uniqueness, tailoring our approach to meet your specific needs and aspirations.
Holistic Healing: My integrated approach combines somatic therapy, yoga, mindfulness, and traditional psychotherapy techniques, addressing the mind, body, and spirit for comprehensive healing.
Compassionate Guidance: You're not alone in this journey. I offer unwavering support and guidance, empowering you to embrace authenticity and live life on your terms.
