My philosophy as a therapist is rooted in the deep respect for your inner knowledge, recognizing you are your own greatest source of wisdom, and helping you remove the barriers and layers that cover your brilliance is my passion. The burden of unprocessed trauma can feel like a cyclone- a frantic, constant struggle to control something that feels overwhelming, menacing and directionless. This can manifest as relentless perfectionism, deep seated shame, being perpetually on edge, disconnection from others and yourself.
The work we do together focuses on gently shedding layers of persistent shame and limiting fear that maintain unwanted behaviors using experiential and somatic therapies. These methods create safety in the body and uses the bodies wisdom to process stuck emotions.
The goal is not to 'move' on from trauma but to integrate it in a way that serves your greater story. This integration reconnects the mind, body and heart, transforming fear to safety and shame to freedom. Through connection, curiosity, and compassion, we can get to the root of the issue and you can experience healed.
