Introduction

Life can throw a lot of stressors our way, and for many, this can lead to anxiety, shutdown, and/or feelings of overwhelm. Early childhood experiences have a significant impact on how we respond to stress. I specialize in treating complex or attachment trauma and have training in treatment modalities which support the brain’s and body’s natural capacity to heal. I work with teens, adults, and specifically therapists, to increase awareness of underlying patterns and assist in the healing of unprocessed events. My role is to provide support as we work together towards increasing your overall emotional capacity and regulation. Using an integrative approach, which includes EMDR, parts work, and Somatic Experiencing, I assist in increasing the mind-body connection to more effectively target and reduce distressing symptoms. Through an attachment lens, I work with the client to assess treatment needs and the pacing of sessions, as to provide some challenge but not overwhelm. Collaboration and client feedback are a BIG part of the process. I work with the client to create a safe environment to promote curiosity, exploration, and meaningful change. Finding the right fit can be difficult, I recommend giving it at least 3 sessions, and if it's not a fit (that's okay!), we can find options that better meet your treatment needs.
