I specialize in regulating the nervous system by utilizing holistic and integrative approaches such as: EMDR, mindfulness tools, DBT, and some somatic tools.
Living in this world involves facing twists and turns instead of a clear and steady path. This can make it difficult to know who to trust or where to go to get the healing you deserve. For a lot of us this may be depression and anxiety, complex trauma, or lack of a sense of identity. Trying to survive in a world where we are told to live and think a certain way, and feel like we have to mask who we truly are just to get through each day. I find it exceptionally important to implement compassionate and creative experiences to help you discover your true authentic self and become the main character of your story.
