Therapy with Xana

If you are feeling overwhelmed, numb or angry about the state of the world... I can relate. I know what it feels like to be lost in emotional overwhelm, wanting answers and finding none. Depression and anxiety may in truth be an appropriate response to oppressive systems. And, I know how to use and share tools that keep us reaching for hope, joy, love and vitality. There is no unsolvable problem. Not when we search within for the core of our humanity and the actions that fuel our spirit.

I practice Relational Therapy grounded in mindfulness and Gestalt awareness practice.

In both Relational and Gestalt therapy much of the focus is based in the present moment. With this focus we can explore how current and historical relationship patterns impact your overall wellbeing and sense of vitality. This type of therapy supports emotional regulation with practicality and realistic therapeutic interventions while creating a wide container for non-violence and creative self-exploration. Simply put: you are in the driver's seat and I am your supportive copilot helping to keep you on course.   

All are welcome in my practice and I feel it is important to be clear that I have a deep commitment to psychologies of Liberation, social justice movements and activism. My practice is trauma informed and I am make it my mission to do no harm.
