Traumatic events overwhelm us and the systems that give us a sense of control, connection, and meaning, stealing our ability to be fully alive in the moment. The body and mind get stuck in helplessness and terror leaving us continually on alert to danger. Thankfully, trauma is treatable through a variety of approaches, including EMDR, Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems. We'll explore the best approach for you, always working in a way that allows you to feel safe and in control.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a well-researched, integrative psychotherapy proven effective for trauma treatment. It combines elements from various therapeutic approaches within a standardized protocol. I’m continually thrilled with the breakthroughs my clients achieve with EMDR, overcoming obstacles that would take years to resolve with traditional talk therapy.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a compassionate, evidence-based approach that helps you understand and harmonize the different “parts” within yourself. By gently exploring these inner voices and their roles, IFS promotes self-awareness, healing, and integration. I’m inspired by how clients gain insight and develop greater self-compassion through IFS, leading to lasting emotional balance and personal growth.

Somatic Experiencing is a body-focused, trauma-informed approach that helps release stored stress and trauma by tuning into physical sensations. By gently guiding you to reconnect with your body’s natural ability to heal, this method supports restoration of balance and resilience. Clients are able to experience embodied inner peace like they've never known before through this gentle and empowering process.
