Introduction

You are a complex being. You've had painful life experiences that continue to impact you even though you don't want them to. You may find yourself feeling stuck, reacting in ways that don't make sense, and reliving past experiences over and over in your thoughts or even in your dreams. Fear comes out of nowhere, and it is exhausting being on guard all the time. It may feel like you can't trust anyone, sometimes not even yourself. But healing is possible. You deserve joy, peace, and deep healing. When you heal, you heal the generations before and after you. I use EMDR, narrative exposure therapy (story telling), CBT, and somatic techniques that are proven to help diverse people heal from traumatic or overwhelming life experiences. My practice is anti-oppressive and social justice focused, because things like racism, sexism, heterosexism play a role in our suffering, and shouldn't be the elephant in the room. I can help you find relief from your suffering. You deserve high quality, warm, and compassionate care. Please reach out for a free consultation if you would like to walk the sacred path of trauma recovery together.
