Sol Endurance
Sol is inspired from my latin heritage. Sol translates to Sun, highlighting the inner light Within each of us. It also sounds like "Soul," recognizing we all have one. Endurance is the english translation of my last name, Duran; meaning the power to last or stay strong, despite it being hard or difficult.
Hi, I'm Daisee and I am so glad that you are here. My passion as a therapist started with my own journey of self exploration and transformation.
A part of my undergrad entailed a counseling class that required me to attend therapy. I started off extremely resistant and guarded. Every ounce of my being resented therapy and sharing the depths of myself, with someone else.
There is so much beauty to resistance, because from my experience, it often times is what I need the most. The therapeutic experienced unlocked memories and tension stored inside of me, and for the first time ever I was able to release them and take a long exhale.
My graduate school experience placed me with a professor and TA who invited me to a yoga studio. Resistance appeared again. Once again, something inside of me unlocked after that class. I was also able to inhale and breathe more deeply. This time I had community beside me.
After graduating with my Masters in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling through California State University, Fresno, I decided to pause as a counselor to deeper explore myself. I continued my healing journey.
For three weeks, I was in the jungle of Costa Rica practicing the benefits of yoga. I was immersed in nature and meditating daily. It brought me mental, physical, and spiritual healing and strength. I obtained my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training.
Now, I am in San Diego, California. I combine the benefits of yoga and therapy to bring in a holistic and spiritual approach to therapy. The history of my own journey mirrors my practices as a therapist. My specialty is derived from the evidence based practices of Somatic Parts Work and Internal Family Systems. My goal is to help you grow a healthier and more loving relationship with yourself, so that it can pour into the relationships around you.
