About My Clients
Are you tired of feeling anxious and and not even knowing why you feel that way? You might feel sad and lethargic at other times and lack motivation to do things you used to enjoy. Maybe you know you have a history of trauma and have wondered if there is any way to get back to "normal". I have found that most people have some kind of developmental trauma, if not major traumatic experiences that have left them questioning their value and place in the world.
My Background and Approach
I use an integrative approach that includes EMDR, parts work, and Compassionate Inquiry (CI) to reveal and process childhood trauma, and emotions that are stored in the mind and body which are the root of mental illness and addictive behaviors. I am a CI practitioner in training which is a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Mate.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that there is so much more to humans than our thoughts and behaviors. Happiness and well-being available to us all. I do not give advice, but guide each client to their own answers that they already have within them. Often, we just have to do some work to help uncover the true self that is the essence of connection and joy. Through my own recovery process I have discovered that even the most seemingly hopeless cases hold the possibility for an amazingly beautiful life. Because of my lived experience, you can be assured that I will not be judging you. We live in a fast paced world that does not allow for much down-time. This keeps our bodies and minds wired constantly. Our nervous systems are out of whack. I have been through many trainings and done much research on trauma, its causes and effects. I will help eaach client understand what is going on with their bodies as well as their minds when it comes to the effects of complex trauma or those big event traumas.
