Are you struggling with symptoms of trauma, complex trauma and PTSD? 

I am a therapist and nurse with 15 years combined experience working in mental health. I focus exclusively on helping people heal from all types of trauma.  I believe trauma leaves a long-lasting impact on our bodies, minds and souls – so I use several modalities when I work with trauma including:

·      Somatic Experiencing®

·      Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy

·      EMDR®

·      Mindfulness practices

Releasing trauma requires careful guidance and it’s important to find a therapist you trust.  I am a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP®) with extensive training in healing traumas. 

Somatic Experiencing® was developed by Peter Levine, PhD, who revolutionized the way we heal trauma by including the body in the process. '

In addition to focusing on thoughts and memories, Somatic Experiencing® uses body awareness and physical symptoms in the present moment as way to access and heal trauma.

I also work “top down” with people exploring their limiting thoughts, beliefs, and misunderstandings. These top down processes making releasing trauma uniquely hard for humans.

Relational traumas are especially painful. I help clients process overwhelming and difficult experiences in a safe and loving container. I teach you the essential skills you need along this noble path through the healing power of relationship.

I am always working to remain on the cutting edge of trauma treatment.  I offer ketamine as an option in treatment because it many people find it helpful in processing trauma — bringing together the mind and body more easily. 

Trauma can take a long time to resolve.   Thankfully, my patients become happier and permanently more resilient as they heal their traumas.  This is termed post-traumatic growth and is a possibility for all who have been hurt and harmed. 

 I empower and invite patients to move beyond the binary of perpetrator and victim to embrace their lives fully. We all have the choice to be trauma survivors and not trauma victims.

Please do not hesitate to call me to talk about trauma, even just to answer questions.  If I am not the right therapist for you, I may be able to get you to the right place.  My consultations are always free.

May you heal from trauma.
