Living with trauma, PTSD, or chronic illness can quietly reshape how you see yourself and your life. You may be navigating medical trauma, religious harm, or childhood emotional neglect while still trying to function day to day. These experiences often overlap in complex ways, shaping how you relate to yourself, your body, and the world around you. You may appear high-functioning but feel overwhelmed, detached, or exhausted beneath the surface, hiding how much effort it takes to hold everything together. Together, we gently untangle these layers so you can feel more grounded, more connected, and more like yourself again.
I specialize in helping adults navigate the crossroads of complex trauma, medical stress, grief, and religious wounding. By blending EMDR, parts work, and somatic work with the creative depth of Guided Imagery and Music, we go beyond traditional talk therapy. This approach works with both mind and body, offering a path to healing when words aren't enough.
Reaching out is an act of profound courage, especially when you've learned that vulnerability isn't safe. You don't have to explain yourself perfectly or have the right words. Your story matters exactly as it is. If something here resonates, I hope you'll trust that feeling and reach out. Healing is possible, and you don't have to find your way alone.

Many of my clients face compounded traumas - where childhood neglect meets medical stress or spiritual wounding. We start by building immediate tools for your nervous system to find calm. When you're ready, we'll explore how past experiences still impact the present, including how they show up emotionally and physically, gradually processing what feels overwhelming. Therapy goes at your pace.
