About My Clients
My clients are very insightful- many have been in therapy before, but they're still stuck in old survival patterns and beliefs that insight alone hasn't shifted. Maybe you're noticing how imprints of your past trauma show up in your parenting. Maybe you feel stuck between emotional overwhelm and emotional numbness, or you struggle with a sense of worthlessness and deep shame. Many of my clients privately struggle with a fear of being vulnerable and intimate in relationships.
My Background and Approach
You're not "too much" or "not enough", you're living with a nervous system shaped by trauma, and you're stuck in old survival patterns that once kept you safe but now cause disconnection and pain. Trauma reshapes the nervous system—but it’s also changeable. Using trauma informed modalities, I can help you slow down, explore the survival patterns that were once necessary and help alleviate symptoms like hypervigilance, fear of vulnerability, people pleasing, overthinking or a harsh inner critic that won't quiet down. In our sessions, we'll go beyond talking. We'll use EMDR, IFS, and somatic-based tools to help your nervous system actually begin to feel safe again-so that you can stop surviving and start living. I have six years of experience treating trauma and postpartum mental health, and I hold a Level 1 and Level II C-PTSD certification (CCTP-II) from the International Association of Trauma professionals. I am also a licensed Perinatal Mental Health Clinician (PMH-C).
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that all symptoms and patterns that show up in our lives were once adaptive, protective and completely necessary. I believe in embracing and honoring the parts of ourselves that helped us survive, all the while gently helping those parts feel safe enough to shed protective patterns that drive disconnection and fear. I am a relational, attachment based therapist, and I believe in the power of authentic connection and attunement as a driver towards therapeutic growth. The work I do is experiential, meaning I aim to go beyond analytical, cognitive based talk therapy and instead help you connect to beliefs and patterns that lie beneath the service of logic and insight. I believe that each and every person carries an innate healing energy that can be utilized in a transformative way with the use of experiential modalities such as IFS, EMDR and Somatic Experiencing.
