About My Clients

Specializing in the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Acute Stress Disorder and the related impacts of trauma including chronic anxiety, depression, chronic illness/pain and challenges with attention and healthy attachment, my focus is helping each client receive personalized treatment tailored to their unique experiences. Whether you're dealing with the aftermath of trauma or seeking to understand its impact, I offer a compassionate and supportive space for growth and recovery.

My Background and Approach

I understand that life can feel overwhelming as past traumas impact the present. My approach combines the evidence-based models of Somatic Experiencing with Trauma Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, providing a safe space for individuals to explore and heal. These Mindfulness-based approaches support the journey from pain to resilience. What is Somatic Experiencing (SE)? SE is a powerful method for resolving trauma symptoms and relieving chronic stress. SE therapy does not require the person to re-tell or re-live the traumatic event. Instead, it offers a gentle way for the body to resolve its instinctual self-protective responses. This resets the nervous system, restores inner balance, enhances resilience, and increases vitality.
