Trauma leaves its mark – on our hearts, our minds, and our connections. It tells us untruths such as, "I am not good enough" and often shows up as anxiety. But healing is possible. In fact, the mind and body are healing machines. My hope is to empower you to heal the root cause of your compulsive thoughts/behaviors; to gently look beneath the soil, rather than just clip the leaves. To achieve this and other positive outcomes, I tap into my extensive training as a somatic therapist, as well as my own experiences of "doing the work". This may sound daunting – we will go at your pace. It could be the journey of a lifetime!
