Imagine waking up to greet the day with curiosity or excitement, feeling good about yourself rather than judging, comparing, and rejecting parts of yourself. It's been said that our essence, our soul, is ever present like the sun, yet like the sun, it can become obscured by clouds. These clouds represent the wounds and trauma you've experienced throughout your life, along with the defenses that have helped you survive, yet these defenses (people pleasing, dissociation, rage...) may no longer serve you. Together we can begin to relax these defenses allowing more of your gifts, your ever-present essence to shine through.
I specialize in helping trauma & sexual trauma survivors reclaim the life they were meant to live. My work is trauma informed, rooted in somatic principles, drawing on neuroscience and integrative modalities like EMDR, energy psychology, parts work, and mindfulness. My approach is kind and compassionate, yet I'm driven to get you the results you want to see.
I understand the pain and suffering that comes with unprocessed and unintegrated trauma, I've been there and can tell you how much better it feels when your nervous system's no longer thrown into dysregulation due to trauma reminders, triggers, flashbacks, or feelings of shame. I'd be honored to take this courageous journey of growth and healing with you.

I work with clients who are struggling with physical, emotional, or relational symptoms due to trauma. In our first session we'll uncover the changes you'd like to see, I'll suggest the approach we take, and teach you a practice so you can begin the process of regulating your nervous system. Most of my clients see symptom reduction within the first month with continued improvement thereafter.

Healing trauma is a holistic and integrative experience. My approach is trauma informed, rooted in somatic principles, drawing on neuroscience and integrative modalities like EMDR, energy psychology, parts work, self-compassion, and mindfulness. Depending on how you're showing up that day, and what growth you wish to see, I'll make suggestions & we'll decide together the direction of each session.
