I help survivors of trauma and difficult childhoods cultivate a calm, congruent life. Survivors may feel emotions that seem out of place in the present moment, experiencing anxiety, depression or shame, have unusual medical issues, or perhaps trouble remembering past events. Difficulty in relationships, low self-esteem, attention issues, and problems trusting are common. If this sounds like your experience, please know it is possible to both release and integrate your past for a more fulfilled present. Together we will identify and incorporate actions that help you feel calm, confident, and capable. You’ll become aware of the signs of unresolved trauma being communicated through your body. We will use gentle somatic approaches that allow us to get beneath the words in order to focus on actions and felt experiences that lead to transformative healing work. I believe an open, collaborative, playful, and genuine approach in psychotherapy is fundamental for your empowerment and safety in the therapeutic relationship – something essential for reconnecting you to the ease and strength already present in your body. At your own pace, we'll heal trauma and relational wounds using body-based talk therapy.
