If a difficult or traumatic childhood history, incident, or relationship has impacted your day to day life, I would love to work with you. Chronic stress, abuse, violence in any form, traumatic birth, and particularly emotional abuse can dramatically impact our ability to have healthy and fulfilling relationships. It also makes parenting the way we want to, sleep, and day to day life much harder when unresolved. The good news is that our bodies want to heal and they can and do given the correct approach. Trauma healing does not have to take years or be painful. I specialize in trauma/abuse resolution that is gentle and self-empowering in nature.

The foundations of my career are in working with children and adults with complex trauma and survivors of sexual abuse and interpersonal violence. My specialty in graduate school was also in trauma treatment and has been the focus on my post-graduate education. I am passionate about teaching other clinicians how to treat birth trauma PTSD specifically. I focus on the body using somatic (body-based) treatment approaches and energy psychology techniques such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems/Inner Child work and energy healing as primary approaches. 

I have a particular interest in toxic relationship and emotional abuse recovery and complex PTSD as well as in working with survivors of sexual abuse, emotional incest, assault, and rape. The modalities listed above are evidenced based treatments that prevent re-traumatization and guide you back to safety in the body as soon as possible. Feel free to call to discuss.
