About My Clients
Most suffer symptoms of PTSD or Complex PTSD from childhood. Talk therapy didn't help. Most are 25-45 yrs, with differing sexual orientations and cultures. Many blame themselves for behaviors that feel out of control like addictions, perfectionism or getting emotionally triggered. Some are neuro-diverse. All want to trust themselves-and others. They long for their authentic voice. They want to feel empowered, calm and decide how they want to live. They are ready to be curious.
My Background and Approach
After 20 years I trust there's an inner wisdom, and it's my role to facilitate my clients' internal dealing drive. While I do integrative talk therapy, I also offer attachment focused EMDR, Somatic therapy (mind-body connection), and TIST (child parts work akin to IFS). I work collaboratively. My clients long for free from trauma symptoms like anxiety, depression, panic attacks and self-worth issues. It's a joy to help clients fully inhabit their lives with more joy, conficence and meaning..
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe everyone is capable of thriving. For some the path there is longer than for others-especially with a trauma history. Talking about traumatic events can just be re-traumatizing, which is why I use mindfulness-based approaches that work with the mind-body connection. These approaches include: EMDR, Somatic Therapy, IFS, TIST and The Flash Technique. I have also enjoyed working with neurodivergence. Social justice is very important to me, and I enjoy helping people feel empowered and free. I support Black Lives Matter movement, and the LGBTQ community. I also support animal rights. I love music, dance and hiking in nature.
