🌸Welcome🌸 TheMountainVue cultivates a unique relational space, crafted and shaped throughout one's journey to reconnect, rediscover and redefine healing, health and life~for you. A collaborative space fosters transparency, truth and trust, allows connection to flow, regulation/co-regulation to be mastered, reawakens strengths, resiliency increases, and hope toward a purpose-filled you~ comes alive. The therapeutic alliance IS the powerhouse within the healing process. My practice is rooted in psychoanalysis, neurobiological perspectives, somatic and holistic healing that involves integrative wrap-around-care/treatment. Sessions are tailored specifically for each individuals immediate needs, addressing unconscious biological/psychological processes, disconnections and symptomology occurring throughout the entire person (body, brain, mind). Safety, connection and regulating the autonomic nervous system are addressed first and most importantly. For therapy to be effective, our internal systems must be in a state primed for processing, presence and healing; the parasympathetic system. Attuning to the multifaceted nature of a person and their unique system (brain, body, mind connection) is essential throughout the therapeutic process. The body naturally operates in the sympathetic nervous system, geared toward protection and safety as opposed to the parasympathetic nervous system and engaging interpersonally. Addressing, understanding and processing the lifespan of experiences becomes the catalyst to reawakening and rediscovering deeper strengths, skills and truths that reside within one's self. Clients can feel “seen, heard, believed, understood and identified with”, both physically and emotionally. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, modalities, dynamic techniques and tools to bring about healing holistically and person centered. I have extensive experience with and draw upon theoretical approaches such as the PolyVagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, Somatosensory therapy, Mindfulness practices, Exercise/Movement, Art Therapy and a variety of addiction/recovery interventions rooted in the NeuroBiology of Traumatic events and responses. I value genuine truth, trust, safety, connection, meaning-making and self-discovery. Therapy requires an empathic nonjudgmental space rooted in evidence-based practices, clinical experience and exploration. At TheMountainVue clients explore interpersonally and relationally, develop self-awareness, process life experiences and acquire the skills necessary to accomplish set life goals. This process cultivates hope, fosters and inspires the client to reconnect with their true selves, the power within and reclaim optimum health, anew.
