Healing Beyond Symptoms: A Depth-Oriented Approach to Trauma & Growth: If you’ve been through trauma, you know that healing isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about reclaiming a sense of safety, connection, and self-trust. My work is designed for people who want to go beyond coping strategies and into real, lasting transformation. I specialize in working with trauma that runs deep—whether that’s complex PTSD, dissociative experiences, attachment wounds, or anxiety that feels unshakable. My approach blends EMDR therapy, somatic interventions, attachment-focused work, and Jungian depth psychology.
What therapy feels like: First we build a safety and stability. Trauma and anxiety can’t heal in an environment that feels overwhelming or rushed. I offer EMDR, Sandplay Therapy, and somatic approaches to help your nervous system shift—not just your thoughts. These approaches reach deep and allow true healing, something that talk therapy alone cannot do.
I work with-people struggling with complex trauma, dissociation, PTSD, and anxiety that won’t let go- people who feel stuck in patterns that don’t make sense logically but feel impossible to break. Healing is possible—not by forcing yourself to “move on,” but by gently working with what’s been held inside, so you can move forward in a way that feels whole.
