I specialize in working with individuals navigating trauma and persistent mind-body symptoms, with a focus on conditions that are not explained by structural or organ damage. My work integrates deep trauma-informed care with evidence-based approaches, including Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET).
I support clients in understanding the connection between the brain, body, and nervous system, helping them shift out of patterns of fear, hypervigilance, and symptom amplification. Through this process, clients learn to reinterpret physical sensations, process underlying emotional experiences, and build a sense of safety within their bodies.
My approach emphasizes education and collaboration. In a first session, clients can expect a thorough conversation about their history, including physical symptoms, emotional experiences, stress, and life circumstances, to better understand what they’ve been going through as a whole. I provide education on the mind-body framework and how this approach applies to their specific symptoms, while prioritizing rapport-building and establishing a sense of safety. Together, we begin to develop personalized goals based on the information gathered, creating a clear and supportive direction for our work.
