Mind-Body-Spirit Healing Arts

Welcome. I’m Pauline.

I’m a trauma and relationship specialist who helps with a variety of issues. I work with adult individuals and couples.

My approach is heart-centered, respectful, collaborative, somatic, research-based, holistic, spiritually open, and culturally humble.

Have you been in therapy before?

Many people who come to me tried therapy before and seek deeper healing. Some reached a plateau in other healing experiences or did not find relief. It is often because trauma can impact parts of the nervous system that cannot be healed through talk therapy alone. This is why I combine talk therapy and parts work (Internal Family Systems) with somatic methods for healing deep in the nervous system - Brainspotting, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR. I also offer art therapy for those who resonate with visual ways of knowing. In addition to individual therapy, I offer trauma-informed EFT for couples, somatic therapy to support EFT couples work, and adjunct somatic therapy for those with an individual therapist.

There is hope.

We all have an innate spark of wisdom, love, and life inside. Natural healing and growth becomes blocked for good reasons - when we lean into these blocks with care and methods based in science so much can change.

IFS-Informed Parts Work

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a beautiful, incredibly powerful, and transformative evidence-based treatment that fosters connection to one’s own core essence for healing. We all have parts inside with different perspectives and IFS brings harmony within.
Brainspotting

Brainspotting evolved from EMDR and somatic trauma methods. It uses focused eye positions to heal wounding held in deeper subcortical parts of the brain. Recent research has shown that Brainspotting may be as effective or even more effective than EMDR, which is my experience.
Emotionally Focused Therapy

EFT is a heart-centered evidence-based couple therapy to reduce relationship distress and build more secure bonds. It works with couples facing chronic illness, a history of childhood abuse, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I also offer EFIT for individuals.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy & Somatic Experiencing

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing are somatic therapies that gently heal traumatic and emotional wounds held in the body and nervous system.
Somatic Attachment-Focused EMDR

Eye Movement Densitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective treatment backed by research. The somatic and attachment focus helps to process relationship difficulties and deep blocks to wellbeing for lasting change.
Art Therapy

For those who resonate with visual ways of knowing, I integrate art therapy with any of the other methods working well for you - from parts work to somatics and EFT. No art skills necessary. Seeing one's inner and relational world in the art can be very healing.
