Great to meet you!

I have focused my practice and studies on learning about trauma. This includes work on birth and womb trauma, being raised in a dysfunctional or abusive family, big T trauma: sexual abuse, car accidents, catastrophic events and more. This is of special interest to me because I have a background of trauma.

My approach to therapy

The primary modality I use is Advanced Integrative Therapy which combines CBT with a somatic approach which removes the energetic charge on trauma. It has a similar effect to EMDR without the danger of being flooded with emotions.

I also use EMDR in some situation depending on the clients wishes and ability to self regulate.

What you can expect from me

Clients will find that their triggers are lessened and they have more insight into situations that are troubling them. I am accepting new clients! Please click my website link to view my availability and schedule our first session. If you prefer a 15 minute consultation, we can set that up as well
