Meet Celina,

LMHC, BC-DMT, C-HEP

I take a person-centered, integrated approach to lay the foundation for a growth-fostering relationship. I believe everyone can heal within themselves. With clarity and understanding of how past experiences have shaped parts of you, you will be able to access self-compassion and navigate challenges with increased confidence and creativity.

This work empowers you to live from a place of courage and curiosity, instead of fear and protection.

My Approach

I take a relational, trauma informed approach. I am trained in Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and am a Certified Healing Embodied Practitioner. My specialization in Parts Work and Somatic Therapy provides a unique lens that will help you heal from and release past traumatic experiences, build present moment regulation and coping skills, and take steps towards creating the life you want.

somatic & embodiment work

Your body carries the story of your experiences and is the cornerstone of emotional processing. If you are someone who has hit a wall with traditional talk therapy, it is time to incorporate the mind/body connection to foster nervous system regulation and access to your own inner wisdom. Create your own sense of present moment safety to feel and be your embodied Self.

Internal family systems

IFS focuses on building a relationship with the Parts of yourself. Oftentimes, Parts take on extreme roles and emotional burdens following distressing events and unmet needs to help us survive. Through connecting with your Parts and feeling the presence of your true Self, you become your primary attachment figure to meet your emotional needs and release old burdens.

AN AFFIRMING & RELATIONAL APPROACH

I believe healing begins with feeling safe, seen, and understood. My work is grounded in a relational, trauma-informed, and affirming approach that welcomes and honors your unique experiences, identities, and personal story. Together, we create a supportive space to explore challenges, deepen self-awareness, and foster lasting growth and connection.
