Dont' just glimpse your blissful state, become it

Hiya,
I'm Vierge— Trauma & Couples Therapist

When you are exposed to trauma, distressing events, or high-stress situations, you are more likely to exhibit a variety of symptoms. This can be an immediate response or a delayed response that appears out of nowhere. These issues can have an impact on your job, intimate and close relationships, social life, personal esteem, self-confidence, and overall outlook on life. Engaging with trauma as soon as possible and in a meaningful way is critical.

​

Welcome! I specialize in trauma, unresolved childhood events, attachment issues, and high stress caused recurring exposure to stressful experiences. People also seek my assistance with life transitions, grief, sexuality, and gender expression. In couple therapy themes of consensual non-monogamous open relationships, infidelity, family conflict, communication styles, and attachment and emotional injuries.

​

I use a person-centered approach as an integrative therapist, combining psychodynamic, existential-humanistic, and contemplative techniques. In addition, Brainspotting, mindfulness, somatic techniques, emotionally-focused, and contemplative inquiry are among my skills and training. 

As an expressive arts therapist, I incorporate therapeutic writing, drama, movement, art, bibliotherapy, cinema, and music into appropriate sessions to help clients who are having trouble recognizing and expressing emotion and getting their needs met. Individuals are not required to have "artistic" abilities to benefit from expressive art therapy.

​

I have served as a licensed mental health counselor and crisis clinician in various roles in outpatient, trauma residential, school, in-home therapy, and community counseling settings.

I have an interest in transformative and restorative justice, spirituality, holistic arts, intergenerational family trauma, and post-traumatic healing. ​In addition to counseling, I am an adjunct faculty member at Lesley University in the master's program for Expressive Arts Therapy.

​

I specialize in energy healing and spirituality mentoring in my coaching and wellness practice, using energy psychology, neurolinguistic programming, Emotional Freedom Technique, and tapping.

INTENSIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY SESSION

Intensive psychotherapy is much like other psychotherapy approaches, except that you meet your therapist more than once a week. Intensive psychotherapy 90-min sessions are longer and can be scheduled more than once a week. Intensive psychotherapy is an alternative approach as long as it fits your needs. These sessions are generally ideal for those who may have a busy lifestyle, a high-stress career, or seek treatment for complex issues that require more than one session a week.
