About My Clients
You are stuck in the pain of abuse, neglect, and trauma. You want to get over it but nothing has helped. You are tired of carrying all this alone, but feel like you have been too much for friends and family. You don't want to relive the nightmare and you don't want to stay stuck feeling this way. No one believed you when you tried to talk about it, or they dismissed what you were saying, letting you know you needed to "suck it up" because "it wasn't that bad", but you know it was.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in innovative, evidence-based therapies to support your healing journey: Brainspotting, EMDR, Compassionate Inquiry, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Therapy. Brainspotting accesses deeply rooted emotional pain through specific eye positions, offering precise and deep healing. EMDR processes and integrates traumatic memories with guided eye movements, helping you regain control. Compassionate Inquiry delves into the emotional wounds contributing to mental health issues, promoting self-awareness and transformation. IFS harmonizes your internal system of "parts," fostering internal cohesion and peace. Somatic Therapy addresses trauma stored in the body, helping release physical tension and restore balance. With empathy, understanding, and a holistic approach, I tailor care to your unique needs. Begin your healing journey today with safe and compassionate care. I know it feels scary but you will be glad you did the work to get your life back.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I know people can heal. I used to believe I was just an anxious, jumpy, and worried person. I didn't know that I had trauma or that I could feel different in my skin. When I started doing my own work I realized just how stressful my childhood had been and what an impact it had. My parents were loving and did their best, but my dad had PTSD, and my mom chronic health issues plus depression. There was a lot I was dealing with that I just thought was normal. I developed an autoimmune disease and was introduced to Gabor Maté's work. When I discovered how chronic stress affects our physical and mental health that was so eye opening. I've spent years doing my own work, with good health benefits. It is my goal to help others realize that birth trauma, chronic illness in a parent, mental health issues of a parent, or any other kind of early childhood trauma can have insidious effects on our functioning. The good news is we can overcome our past. Healing is Possible!
