Trauma Therapy & Holistic Healing- I work with children, youth, & adults. I help survivors of trauma & abuse heal from the negative effects it has on their body & mind. The impacts of trauma can last for years, and usually include symptoms of PTSD/CPTSD, such as: anxiety, depression, nightmares, hypervigilance, low self-esteem, impaired memory, intrusive thoughts/memories, difficulty regulating emotions & trusting self/others, etc. These effects of trauma can disrupt daily life, and create barriers to moving forward in life. I am dedicated to help you find ways to work through these barriers and regain back control of your life.

I use a trauma informed holistic approach to therapy; integrating body-based practices, creativity, and IFS/ parts work to do deep healing. Working from the bottom up, regulating the body and nervous system, so there is a good foundation for processing the impacts of trauma. I believe everyone has the ability to heal and grow.
My experience spans over 9 years, supporting people who have experienced trauma, and various mental health struggles. I will help you identify/understand triggers, develop coping strategies, and find ways to express yourself & process the impacts of the trauma. Other areas of focus: Anxiety, Depression, ADD/ADHD, LGBTQIA+, Grief & Loss, Inner Child Work.
