Trauma-competent and trained, I am well-versed in the complexities of identity development (in particular, twin identity development), addiction, family dynamics, relational dynamics, childhood wounding, domestic violence, emotion regulation, somatic experiences, and grief.

This is not your typical therapy session. For change to occur, we must resource the nervous system in a healthy way to process emotions and feel safe in our bodies. Culturally many of us have been taught to process emotions cognitively and with rationalizing the 'why' of events. However, this doesn't calm our nervous system; in fact, where this way of coping may have served us well at one point in our lives, it may now make the struggle to manage overwhelming emotions harder. Therapies like somatic awareness and brainspotting help to create new neural pathways to feel safe and change how we made meaning of events and core wounding.

Ever feel not good enough? Like you don't matter? That the world is an unsafe place? I help clients to navigate maladaptive relational and behavioral patterns that resulted from an attachment wound and negative core beliefs. Let's get you feeling safe in your embodied experiences to alleviate symptoms, and then we can integrate what you already know to be true.
