As a trauma specialist working with both children and adults, I understand that traumatic experiences can profoundly impact individuals at any stage of life. My approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each age group while recognizing the interconnected nature of family trauma. My work with children focuses on restoring a sense of safety, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and addressing trauma-related behavioral issues. For adults, we'll work together to safely process traumatic memories, understand and overcome trauma symptoms, and improve interpersonal relationships. My work is grounded in the understanding that trauma impacts both mind and body. By combining effective trauma treatments that support both "top-down" and "bottom- up" processing, with a compassionate, client-centered approach, I help both children and adults move from surviving to thriving. You are not defined by what happened to you. Whether you're seeking help for yourself or your child, know that healing is possible at any age. Together, we will learn that we are so much more than what happened to us. I invite you to reach out and take the next step towards healing.
