About My Clients
Do you feel like your past is holding you back? Perhaps "little" things send you to panic or shut down - or maybe it is hard to trust or feel connected. I work with survivors of childhood and complex trauma (CPTSD), with a focus on the LGBTQIA+ community. Often my clients want to understand their triggers, build secure relationships, handle conflict calmly, and develop positive outlooks on themselves and the world.
My Background and Approach
I work from a holistic framework, incorporating approaches to help you balance your emotions, break free from unhelpful patterns, and process deep trauma at a pace that feels safe for you. We will work together to create a personalized treatment plan, unique to your needs and preferences. Besides developing verbal insight, I use somatic (body-based) approaches to regulate the nervous system, art-making to bring unconscious material to the surface, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EDMR) to reprocess engrained traumatic material, and inner child work to create compassion for yourself. In addition, I am a registered 200-hr yoga teacher.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am deeply passionate about providing services to underserved populations, such as those in the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals who have experienced human trafficking, domestic violence, and homelessness. As a survivor of childhood abuse and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I understand how isolating trauma can feel and how daunting it can be to reach out for help. I am here when you are ready.
