You feel broken, stuck, and afraid to talk about what happened. Why bring up things you want to forget? You tried talking about it and you were told “you have it better than I did” or weren’t believed. You pushed it down but end up exhausted and empty inside. You're ashamed. Was it your fault? You try to act normal but no one knows the real you. You don’t have energy and don’t know what you enjoy. You don't have friends, you are too burned out. When you aren’t numb you're angry, anxious, and second guessing everything. Why can't you get over it? You keep reliving the mistakes that reinforces the “proof" of your worthlessness.
I use Somatic Therapy and neurofeedback so that if talking about what happened doesn't feel safe you don't have to! So whether it is Compassionate Inquiry, Brainspotting, EMDR, talk therapy, or another trauma modality, I can customize your treatment plan to help you get unstuck in a way that feels safe.
I can help you start to feel like yourself again with compassionate interventions that shift the blame and shame. I can help you develop tools that gently ease you back into connection with yourself, your body, others, & the world. When therapy is working, you start to feel more present, shift your self concept, & with regular practice unburden the past.

Many people feel cut off, unlovable, unable to relax or form healthy relationships. Many were abused but some had food on the table and loving parents. Clients come to me with anxiety, depression, and an empty place they can't fill, really confused about why they feel this way. Sometimes trauma is about what didn't happen that needed to. I can help you make sense of your trauma symptoms.

I was featured in National Geographic in an article on Somatic Therapy for Trauma. I also use CI, IFS, and brainspotting in my practice. I believe that trauma happens to your body, mind, and brain and so all three of those aspects need to be considered in therapy. I create a safe place to reconnect to yourself, to others, and to the world. Healing is possible! Trauma sucks, therpay doesn't have to
