Are you struggling with trauma? You might feel anxious, disconnected from your body, feeling the need to constantly distract yourself, or not feeling like yourself. This may be in response to a bigger life event, loss, life transitions, or something you’ve been unable to access. Sometimes, our responses are connected to childhood trauma, religious trauma, work trauma, or from past relationships. You may also question if your responses are connected to trauma at all. You want to live a life where it feels good to be present with yourself and in relationships. Where you can be authentically yourself.
Together, we will connect you to your body and explore your authentic self through EMDR, somatic therapy, parts work, and strengths-based therapy. The goal in our work is to break the cycle of trauma patterns stored in your body and find more regulated nervous system responses.
My role is not to dictate your therapy experience, but to work collaboratively with you on what you want to get from therapy. My passion is working with people that struggle with traumatic life experiences - big and small, religious trauma, and adult children of alcoholics. You can reach out to me through email or to set up a 15 minute phone consultation.
