Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
You came into this world knowing intuitively how to meet your needs. Infants know when they are hungry and when they are satiated. Emotions are the bodies way of getting natural born needs met. There is no shame attached to feeling your feelings as a newborn baby. Then, your experiences, relationships and communities shape your natural born intuition around needs and expression, for better or worse. Perhaps you are here reading this because your family of origin, community or society has harmed your intuition. You have slowly developed shame around your human needs and anxiety around who YOU even are authentically. View 5 Photos I view my clients' mental symptoms as being exacerbated by unprocessed harmful experiences from that past and present that have become frozen in the nervous system. Trauma healing happens through reprocessing and repairing past experiences in the presence of safety and connection. My sincere hope is that together we are able to create a therapeutic container for healing that feels safe, understanding, supportive and helpful to you. I pull from extensive training, education and experience in somatic trauma approaches to support this goal.
