I believe in all people’s innate capacity to heal. To me, all symptoms that we experience whether it be chronic pain, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, etc can be explained by trauma. Trauma does not have to be big events. Trauma can be if we are not attuned to emotionally as children or if our parents have their own unprocessed trauma—this sort of trauma often leads to deep seeded beliefs that we are unloveable and bad. Our healing comes from teaching our parts that we are loveable and accepted just as we are.
I specialize in treating chronic pain and dissociation. I primarily work in a somatic and relational way which means that I deal with what is happening in the moment in the nervous system between us. My work is informed by the idea that we all have different parts of ourselves that are trying to express themselves in the best way that they know how,
My training includes: Somatic Experiencing, Janina Fisher’s Structural Dissociation Model, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, . I also work from the perspective of Dr. John Sarno’s “TMS” framework in which physical symptoms are understood as repressed emotions including anger, sadness, shame, and fear.
