Are you struggling with feeling numb, cut off from your emotions, isolating yourself from others, stuck in a depression that never seems to go away, struggling to stay present or even to have the energy to get out of bed in the morning? Or how about the opposite, feeling too much, dominated by anxiety and panic, constantly on edge around reminders of your trauma, struggling to keep it together and control your emotions? Or do you find yourself going back and forth between these feeling numb and feeling too much states? If so, I would love to help you work with both your brain and nervous system to help you resolve your trauma.
My passion is doing trauma work. This involves helping people adaptively rewire their nervous systems. Doing so helps people change how they interact with others, how they feel about themselves, increases their ability to be with their emotions and deal with adversity. You can release the burdens from past experiences and enter a new present and future.
I believe therapist-client fit is very important and work to establish a feeling of trust and safety with every client. If you are neurodivergent and would like to work with a neurodivergent therapist, I could be a good fit for you. I use a somatic-focused EMDR called Natural Processing, Deep Brain Reorienting, parts work, and the Safe and Sound Protocol.
