Let's talk about next steps

Specialities

My background and training give me great insight into these areas, which I can use to help my clients.

  • Trauma literally means "wound, injury, or shock." It refers to events that overwhelm an individual's ability to cope. People differ in what they find traumatic, but some events are universally distressing. While it was once believed that only physical harm caused trauma, we now know that emotionally stressful events can also result in trauma, especially when there is a lack of supportive care. Trauma can deeply affect a person’s emotional and psychological well-being.

  • PTSD is a condition diagnosed in individuals who have experienced or witnessed severe traumatic events, such as death, serious injury, or sexual violence. Those with PTSD often live in fear that the traumatic event will happen again, and they may struggle to realize that the event is over. PTSD changes the way memory functions, causing the brain to simultaneously avoid the traumatic memory due to its distressing nature and attempt to process and make sense of it. This can severely impact various aspects of their life.

  • Complex Trauma describes repeated or ongoing trauma, often occurring within personal relationships, making it difficult or impossible to escape. This type of trauma typically begins in childhood, affecting a child's development and often being kept secret or denied. Complex trauma can result in deep-seated emotional and psychological issues that persist into adulthood.

  • Attachment Wounds are disruptions in the bond between a child and their caregiver, which can occur due to neglect, abandonment, or inconsistent caregiving. These wounds impact a person's ability to form secure and healthy relationships, affecting emotional and relational development throughout life. Individuals with attachment wounds may struggle with trust, intimacy, and emotional regulation.

  • Religious Trauma involves the harm experienced within a religious context, which can include emotional, psychological, and spiritual damage. This trauma can arise from manipulation, control, or exploitation by religious leaders or communities, leaving individuals feeling betrayed and deeply wounded.

  • Spiritual Abuse refers to the misuse of spiritual or religious authority to control, manipulate, or exploit others. This abuse can cause significant emotional and psychological harm, leaving individuals feeling confused, hurt, and disconnected from their spirituality.

Approaches to Treatment

  • Trauma-Focused Therapy

    Trauma affects the brain, body, and emotions in deep and lasting ways. Trauma-focused therapy provides a safe, supportive space to process painful experiences using evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs.

  • Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)

    Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is a gentle, body-based approach to healing deeper layers of trauma. Rather than retelling painful memories, DBR works with the body’s natural tension patterns, helping you process overwhelming experiences safely and at your own pace.

    Many clients find DBR especially helpful when traditional talk therapy hasn’t fully reached the deeper roots of their pain. In our work together, I will guide you through the process with care, always honoring your pace and comfort level.

  • Attachment-Based Therapy

    The relationships we form early in life have a powerful impact on how we connect with others as we grow. Attachment-Based Therapy helps you explore those early experiences and understand how they may be shaping your current relationships.

    By fostering stronger, healthier connections, this approach promotes healing from past wounds and supports your ability to build deeper, more fulfilling bonds. Over time and with support, you can move toward greater emotional security, stability, and well-being.

  • Psychodynamic Therapy

    Sometimes, the struggles we face in the present are tied to deeper patterns from our past. Psychodynamic Therapy helps you gently explore those influences—thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns—so you can gain insight, heal unresolved emotions, and create positive change in your life.

  • EMDR Therapy

    EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a research-backed therapy that helps reprocess distressing memories using guided eye movements or bilateral stimulation, reducing their emotional intensity. I have completed basic training in EMDR and am currently working toward certification to further deepen my expertise.

  • Ego-State Therapy

    Ego-State Therapy (EST) is a trauma-informed approach that works with different parts of the self (ego states), each holding specific emotions, memories, or roles. It aims to heal wounded states and promote internal harmony with kindness and compassion.
