Welcome to Halsonus: A Fresh Take on Self-care and Psychology

Halsonus was born from my desire to create a space that blends psychotherapeutic principles with practical tools for enhancing daily well-being. The name itself, derived from the Latin words for breath and sound, reflects the holistic approach we embrace—recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

My journey began with art. As a child, I found solace and self-expression through it, discovering that art was more than a passion—it was spiritual, healing, and vital to my being. Art allowed me to convey emotions I couldn’t yet articulate. From classical ballet in my youth to earning a degree in acting from NYU, movement and creativity have always been essential to my life. Today, I continue this exploration through my studio art practice in drawing, painting, and sculpture.

As my journey evolved, I pursued other modalities that resonated with my belief in the healing power of movement, spiritual self-exploration, and self-awareness. My certifications in yoga, meditation, holistic health counseling, and personal training reflect a lifelong commitment to understanding the mind-body connection. Eventually, this led me to a degree in Clinical Psychology and my work as a licensed LMFT.

In my private practice, I help clients engage in deeply transformative work, but I’ve always thrived in community settings. I felt compelled to offer support beyond the inherent limitations of one-on-one therapy—where I can only see so many clients each week. Therapy is an essential part of healing, but it’s just one piece of a much larger journey. That’s why I created Halsonus—to provide functional tools that complement, not replace, the therapeutic process. These are the same tools I’ve used myself and shared with clients—products I couldn’t find elsewhere but knew were needed. Halsonus is for anyone interested in exploring wellness, whether within or beyond the traditional therapeutic setting.

Here, you’ll find sensory products and aromatherapy lines crafted with intention and backed by science, as well as psychoeducational content to guide you in self-discovery. Halsonus is more than a brand; it’s a community dedicated to nurturing self-awareness, emotional balance, and truly holistic well-being.
