I have over 17 years' experience working with adolescents & adults recovering from sexual assault, complex trauma, dissociative conditions, and anxiety disorders. It's common for clients to present with other challenges such as interpersonal difficulties, eating issues, feelings of low self-worth, or family-of-origin challenges. Whether you have seen therapists previously but find yourself now plateauing, or this is your first time reaching out, I offer a balance between client-led support and targeted guidance - enabling you to feel in control while working through issues strategically.
Neuroscience research shows traditional talk therapy often isn't enough to shift the neural residue left in the aftermath of traumatic experiences. As a senior psychologist, I have advanced training in evidence-based trauma approaches that integrate nervous system processing together with trauma-informed psychotherapies: trauma treatment that works.
My core therapeutic models include Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), EMDR (attachment-focused, trauma processing, targeted protocols to treat different conditions), IFS (Parts work), and Somatic Psychotherapy. My work is always informed by human rights and power dynamics, whether institutional, systemic, or interpersonal.
