About My Clients
Are you stuck playing out a pattern of fearing other people and hiding in your relationships? Do you carry a sense of not knowing who you are or a feeling that other people don’t know the real you? If this sounds like you, I’m here to help! I help adults discover life beyond the struggles of chronic anxiety and dissociation through an embodied parts work and memory reprocessing approach. In our work together you will learn to locate, nurture, and voice yourself instead of disappearing yourself.
My Background and Approach
I work with people as persons first, and my therapeutic approach is informed by attachment science, traumatology, and neuroscience. I am trained in psychodynamic, somatic, IFS, and EMDR modalities and offer them in an integrated way for comprehensive trauma treatment. In all the different settings I have provided therapy, I have devoted myself to helping survivors of complex and relational trauma take care of themselves and connect with others in a more satisfying way. I offer unique services, including extended sessions and trauma intensives. Extended sessions offer a space for a focused deep dive on somatic, relational, or parts/dissociation issues designed to get you to your goals faster than traditional therapy. Trauma intensives are designed to get months of trauma therapy done in one day, which are a great option for people ready to make serious movement on letting go of the past.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I ground my services in fierce compassion and the unyielding belief in people’s innate capacity to heal. I believe that at the bottom of so many expressions of psychological illness is a troubled capacity for love and attachment. So, I believe the human capacity to receive and give love is a central capacity to retaining sanity and well-being. I'm also someone who also lives with the lifelong imprints of complex trauma. But having gone through the arduous trauma therapy process, I am delighted to tell you that so many of my complex PTSD symptoms are in remission. Relationships, life, and mental health maintenance feel like a breeze on this side of healing. I know how much the small things in your personal relationships really make such a difference in life. I want you to have ease all around – in life, in love, and in friendships. I welcome all to my practice, and I have a particular sensitivity towards racial immigration stress/trauma if you carry that too. Send me a message!
