Maybe you feel like you’ve lost a part of yourself. Or you experience intense emotions, or feel empty inside. Maybe you walk around the world with a poker face. This is often the pain that trauma leaves behind. You’re not “broken.” You can heal. The deep sense of peace, calm & joy on the other side of this pain is something I want everyone to feel. Together, we’ll heal the root issues at the core of this pain so you can make lasting change & show up in the world as your true self. Hearing your story is my privilege; so I value working holistically, balancing validation with gentle direction & equally being dedicated to your healing.
Approaches: We start with the nervous system to help improve your functioning & prepare for deeper trauma processing. We focus on fMRI based therapies (show healing in the brain & body) like EMDR, Deep Brain Re-orienting or Structural Theory of Disassociation Parts Work. These are highly effective and cutting edge in healing trauma, C-PTSD & disassociation.
Rest assured, I’m dedicated to being the best I can be for you. I receive training/consultation very consistently to ensure I’m supporting you the best way. With 15+ years of experience of trauma work, I have effectively worked with many approaches and have many tools in my tool belt. When you're ready to heal, I'll be excited to support you. Let's chat :)
