We know now the profound ways trauma can affect one’s brain, nervous system, relationships, self-esteem, and peace of mind. Trauma can stem from a single event or multiple occurrences that chip away at the soul. While some traumas fall under the diagnosis: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), many do not. These presentations equally deserve our full clinical attention.
Many individuals are afraid to open up past wounds for fear they will be too much to bear. I deeply respect this hesitation and work slowly and at your own pace. Using empirically-supported techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Nervous System Regulation tools (EFT), I help you work to be free from the sequelae of trauma.
Chronic pain and chronic illness can also lead one to enter a hypervigilant state. This state is exacerbated by frequent and often invasive medical treatments. I offer comprehensive support for what I term “Medical PTSD”. I couple this with dietary support that enhances systemic healing.
My goal is to help you reach a state of ease that allows your body to heal. I also seek to address root causes so you can get back to living and experiencing joy.
I am proud to incorporate EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Trauma Based Yoga for trauma healing. I strive to foster safety and trust from our first session together. We will work at your own pace and collaborate every step of the way.
