Did you know: Trauma can happen on both individual AND societal / collective levels? This is especially true for women and other marginalized folks (LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, ADHD / neurodivergent, 1st-generation Americans / adult children of immigrant, narcissistic, or emotionally immature parents). In fact, the more marginalized you are, the more likely it is you have experienced childhood trauma, including sexual abuse/assault. Depending on the stage of life they are in, women face particular traumas at different parts of their lives. Women and marginalized folks come to me to heal these wounds from the patriarchy, so we can ALL heal too!
I'm a women's somatic therapist with 10+ years of experience helping folks heal past trauma! I help women in all life stages heal from the patriarchy! If you have anxiety / depression or perfectionism / people-pleasing in your relationships, career, family, etc., I will help you reduce symptoms of past trauma and feel more embodied, empowered, & expressed!
Are you ready to let go of what’s no longer serving you and embrace the fullness of who you are? Ready to free your Inner Goddess and get treated with the respect you deserve? Drawing on a feminist reinterpretation of the feminine archetypes, Maiden/ Mother/ Crone, we will rewrite your own life story to Warrior/Queen/Witch (or other empowering ones for you)!
