Individual Trauma Therapy for Adults

My Approach

I don't see myself as your healer. I see myself as a wounded self-healer who continues to do my own inner work while guiding others through theirs.

I understand trauma as painful experiences that can become stored in our bodies and leave us fragmented and disconnected from ourselves and our sense of belonging. This “severed belonging” and dis-ease can ripple outward into our relationships with one another and Mother Earth, perpetuating cycles of oppression and ecological harm. I believe in the concept of "survival of the nurtured"—that nurturing secure attachments and remembering our interconnectedness with all life can help restore a deeper sense of belonging and harmony within ourselves, our communities, and the natural world.

Healing is not about fixing what is broken. It is about reconnecting with what has always been whole beneath the pain. Like the lotus that grows from the mud, transformation often emerges from the very places where we have suffered most.

For this reason, I treat the whole person holistically through somatic trauma therapy, incorporating breathwork, guided imagery, inner child healing, mindfulness, and self-compassion. I integrate EMDR, Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM)® inner child work, and IFS-informed parts work to help you regulate your nervous system, explore deeper emotions and sensations, and create space for all parts of yourself to be welcomed with compassion.

By addressing root causes, not just symptoms, our work together can help you to feel more grounded, heal your relationship with Self, and remember who you are at your core.

“We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.”
