Hi all and congratulations on taking the courageous step toward healing. I am a dedicated trauma therapist with a specialized focus on attachment wounds, complex relational trauma, and processing family dynamics across the lifespan. My person-centered approach allows us to delve into deep-seated patterns that often underpin trauma responses and impact self-worth and the ability to maintain healthy relationships. I believe that trauma and life stressors affect both the brain and body. For deep healing to occur, we must first connect with ourselves, develop positive coping skills, and attune to our nervous system. In our early sessions, we will focus on building a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and authentic connection. Once this foundation is established, we will explore therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness Movement, Polyvagal Theory, and attachment-based exploration. Therapy can be a scary or overwhelming process, it’s my goal to walk with you through all the emotions, sensations, and thoughts that surface with empathy, compassion, and an open mind so that you feel genuinely seen. If you resonate with my approach you’re welcomed to reach out to see we are a good fit!
