Life can be overwhelming, underwhelming and many things in-between. Sometimes we know what we are struggling with. Other times it may feel more mysterious yet we know we don't feel okay and want something to change. Trauma shows up in so many forms and we may not always realize what is at the root of our struggles. Some examples of what trauma can look like include: anxiety, depression, dissociation, feeling disconnected, isolation, addiction, eating disorders, thoughts of dying, self-harm, hopelessness, over-working, lack of motivation, struggles with intimacy/relationships, chronic emptiness, anger, hypervigillance and ADHD. Often times our emotions and behaviors result from our attempts to cope with situations, emotions and experiences that we experienced as intolerable and too much. When not addressed it can become the blueprint for how we approach life. There is a reason and together, with curiosity and compassion, we can begin to understand that reason and help you develop new ways to cope, heal and experience life.
I take a compassionate, strength based and relational approach to healing. Because our nervous system and bodies are also impacted by trauma and life stressors I incorporate somatic approaches to support healing and integration. The mind can only go so far, the body holds so much information and wisdom. Together, and at your pace, we can tap into your inner wisdom to support the healing process.
I see adults, teens and older adults in my practice. While my specialization is trauma, including dissociative disorders and personality disorders, I also work with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addiction and anger.

“Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going inside ourselves.”
