I have over 15 years of experience working for trauma-informed treatment/enrichment programs. In my practice, I focus on supporting people through trauma and what is occurring inside themselves as a result of adversity. We shift cycles of perfection, hyper-performance, and survival-based rigidity in favor of more grounded states where we follow our intuition and inner healing wisdom. I specialize in finding the crux of the pain and offering gentle compassion and permission- based techniques to sooth the roots of grief so that you can be heard, your system can be cleansed, and your being able to receive compassionate care.
I utilize trauma processing, mind-body connection, emotion focused therapy, Breathwork and Brainspotting among other models to boost vitality. We can pair these with healthy coping strategies to create richer experiences in life. If appropriate, we can utilize my training and 2+ years of practice in Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to aid in this process.
If you are curious about how we might work together, please don't hesitate to reach out via phone for a conversation. Let's walk together on this path awhile.
