Traumatic experiences echo into our present lives through dysregulated nervous systems, intrusive memories, and how we view our place in the world. You may notice a constant disconnection from others. Or intense emotional shifts moment to moment. Maybe, you even find it hard to trust yourself. I believe that through trauma-informed and community care all people have the capacity to heal from past wounds. I approach trauma-informed care from a collaborative, non-judgmental, and anti-oppressive lens. I prioritize a relationship where you feel seen, empowered, and supported in your healing.
I use an integrated approach to trauma-informed therapy that prioritizes regulation, present-centered awareness, and relational healing. Over time, you may experience relief from stressors including shame/guilt, depression, anxiety, loneliness, overwhelm, anger, flashbacks, intrusive memories, dissociation, suicidal ideation, and interpersonal distress.
Healing is not a linear path or a checklist to complete. It is a remembering, a reclamation, a radical act. I believe that you are inherently worthy as you are, and still, you deserve to carry heavy burdens more lightly. If you're ready to live a more present centered life, I invite you to reach out.

I use an integrated approach to treatment, meaning there is not one single modality that can capture the human experience. At the foundation of my treatment is the therapeutic relationship between you and me. Building relational trust is paramount to navigating relational wounding. Additionally, I use a "parts" framework to depathologize the complexity of human emotion and behavior.
