Isa is the Founder and Clinical Supervisor for The Heart Therapy Center. She specializes in alternative modalities focused on creativity, personal atunement, pleasure and fulfillment. Utilizing trauma informed therapies including EMDR, somatic, art and movement.

No matter what has happened, our true soul within never leaves us and can always be rediscovered. Our soul’s core values can guide us back from darkness and uncertainty. By utilizing a soul and spirituality based approach, I follow clients to reorient back to their true sense of resilience within, letting you take the lead while I curiously support with unconditional positive regard. Instead of focusing on deficits (what we’d like to remove) in your life, we identify what you are passionate about growing. We use your authentic soul’s core values to guide life choices and overcome obstacles or fears holding you back. Soul focused therapy aims to rejoin awareness to the inner spirit which has been dismissed by oppressive conditioning. Specialities: Neurodivergent affirming and creative expression.

Our bodies are the vessel that allow us to experience this life and the relationships we cultivate hold profound significance. The dynamic relationship between our bodies and the emotional connections we form with others shapes our experiences, growth, and sense of self.

I believe you have the innate power to resolve anything and that to do so you must consider looking inward first. I work from an attachment and relational lens which means I am very curious about our earliest relationships, how they have impacted our system, guide us unconsciously, and keep us stuck in outdated/hurtful patterns.

My style is based in systemic, relational, and trauma-informed therapy. The approaches I use are eclectic and grounded in the needs and desires of my clients. I utilize a collaborative and non-hierarchical relationship, honoring clients as the experts of themselves. I am informed by my experience and research in sexuality, incarceration, and immigration as well as my passion for yoga and somatic healing. My practice is rooted in allyship and is inclusive to all. My clients would describe be as warm, down to earth, informative, passionate, and empathetic.

My greatest goal as a therapist is to help clients connect with their immense internal wisdom and learn how to have it guide them toward more joy and well-being. Through compassion and reflective listening, I encourage clients to let go of self-doubt and limiting beliefs and reconnect them with their most authentic selves. I provide an integrative and holistic approach to therapy, drawing upon somatic awareness, mindfulness practices, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, humanistic/transpersonal traditions, and various expressive arts. I am a warm and humorous person dedicated to providing a safe, judgment-free space where clients can explore and process life as it happens.

My approach is centered on the belief that each human is unique, innately wise, and remarkably capable. In my work, I use an integrative style to match whatever “you” shows up that day, but I always consider your whole being (mind, body, soul/spirit/energy). I urge my clients to determine their own meanings, values, and goals. I am influenced by humanistic and existential psychology, and have a lengthy background working with those grieving many types of loss. I welcome any and all— especially those who feel rejected by society— to the safety of my office.
