Trauma Therapy

The essence of trauma is disconnection, from ourselves, from others, and from the present moment.”
- Dr. Gabor Maté

A Relational, Somatic, and Human Approach

Trauma doesn’t live in the story, it lives in the body. That’s why I don’t just offer talk therapy.

Together, we work with what arises in the moment: sensations, images, memories, emotions, even silence.

My approach is grounded in:

Inner Child Work- reconnection with younger parts of self
Attachment Repair-for those who never knew consistent safety in relationship
Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and Somatic Tremoring- to support nervous system regulation
Gestalt Informed- presence-based and relational.
Meditation and mindfulness- develop a non-religious capacity we be with present moment feeling, somatic experience, inner processes and grater self acceptance .

More than qualifications

I hold formal training in trauma recovery modalities, but part of what I bring to the room is my own lived experience. I know what it means to walk through and come out on the others side of a very dark time. I’ve lived through the disorientation of leaving a belief system. I’ve carried the weight of complex trauma and the sense of overwhelmed that seems to go with it. I haven’t deleted or rid myself of my past wounds, but I have been able to find a space or
sense of peace with that was and what now is. I’ve come to trust in the slow, relational repair that happens when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start listening the deeper part of how we are.

“I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.”

Who is this for?

Many of the people I work with are::

Holding grief or shame that’s never been fully named
Highly functional on the outside but struggling to feel at peace inside
Feeling stuck in old patterns (people-pleasing, overthinking, avoidance)
Recovering from religious or spiritual abuse
Seeking a therapist who won’t pathologize, but will meet them human-to-human
