I use a Trauma-Informed Therapy to address the psychological, emotional, relational and physical problems that past trauma can create. My approach draws from numerous sources including Neuroscience, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and EMDR.

Feeling anxious can be overwhelming and all consuming. It doesn’t have to be. We humans have a natural stress response that causes us to feel anxious we need to learn to work with that natural response to get anxiety under control. I can support you in understanding, working with and managing the mental physical and emotional responses to anxiety.I engage somatic regulation skills and integrate methods to help you create new patterns of responses to stress.

Somatic body-based therapy is a holistic approach that emphasizes the connection between the mind and body in healing trauma and emotional distress. By focusing on bodily sensations, movements, and breath, this therapy helps you release stored tension and trauma from the body, leading to greater emotional resilience, reduced anxiety, and a deeper sense of well-being. Ideal for those looking to heal from trauma, chronic stress, and physical manifestations of emotional issues.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a powerful, evidence-based treatment designed to help you heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. By using guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact. This therapy is effective for PTSD, anxiety, depression, and phobias, promoting rapid emotional relief and lasting healing. Ideal for those seeking to overcome past trauma.

Few people understand what it is like to grieve and most prefer avoiding the topic all together or give unsolicited advice. You may be feeling alone and sense that others are uncomfortable or inpatient when you discuss your feelings. I provide a space where you can relax, learn about, process and express your feelings freely without judgment. It can be a great relief to have someone who understands personally and professionally what grief and loss is like.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a transformative, evidence-based approach that helps you understand and heal your inner world. It views the mind as made up of sub-personalities, or "parts," each with its own perspective. By fostering a compassionate relationship with these parts, especially the wounded and protective ones, IFS promotes emotional healing, reduces inner conflict, and enhances self-awareness. Ideal for addressing trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges.
