About My Clients
There was a time when I felt trapped by anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. I spent years feeling like I was constantly reacting to the world around me—easily overwhelmed, shutting down, and unsure how to move forward. I was living in a hypervigiliant state - always on edge, feeling unsafe in relationships and in my aloneness. This was also followed with depressive states followed by shame and guilt.
My Background and Approach
I’m currently a student in Somatic Experiencing and would love to support you in creating a relationship with your body that fosters healing and connection. Throw out your definition of trauma - trauma is completing in the body what was not allowed to complete! Lets forgive our system for protecting us, but now let's help it feel safe instead. In our sessions, we will learn to track bodily sensations, explore gentle movements that the body feels impulsed to do, lessen the "charge" of what shows up in our system and process traumatic experiences at a pace that feels right for your nervous system. Let your nervous system meet mine, and do this healing stuff together.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I aim to create a therapeutic space that is as human as possible; I’m a strong believer that growth and change are fostered through a deep and trusting connection between client and clinician (a human connection). Creating a safe and comfortable setting is my first goal. I believe being my authentic self (which can be very humorous, at times) will provide a supportive connection that will drive your therapeutic goals. I will challenge your thoughts, beliefs, values, and perspectives. I will help you learn how to “own your stuff” and guide you in unpacking your life journey as well as give you space to attach meaning to the many moments in life that can be challenging.
