About
She specializes in trauma-informed, body-based healing that honors all parts of who you are. Makahala's approach combines evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches, including Somatic Experiencing (SE), EMDR Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), and Compassionate Inquiry. These modalities help clients release stored trauma, rewire their nervous system for calm and resilience, and heal and integrate the parts of themselves that feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed. Makahala's style is warm and direct, and she supports clients through every step of their transformation, helping them unlearn survival patterns, process unresolved pain, and step into a more authentic, grounded version of themselves. Her goal is to help clients come back home to themselves, feeling safe, calm, and in control, and to develop meaningful relationships and connections with others.
