My Approach to Helping
Are you feeling the heavy burden of past traumas, constantly haunted by memories and bodily sensations that refuse to fade? Trauma can feel like navigating through a maze in the dark, and can be overwhelming, affecting every aspect of your life. The anxiety and stress may seem crushing but deep down, you yearn for a sense of calm and stability. You're eager to break free from the grip of trauma, anxiety and depression, and rediscover your inner strength and resilience. Know that you're not alone in this journey. I'm here to support you, offering trauma informed care, authenticity, understanding, and genuine support without judgment.
I hold a Master's degree in Psychology from The New School for Social Research, and I have completed years of clinical training in both individual and group settings, and in-patient and out-patient settings. I'm also certified by the International Trauma Training Institute as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.
I specialize in polyvagal therapy, which is about tapping into your body's natural ability to find calm and safety. It's like having a roadmap for your nervous system, helping you understand why you react the way you do in different situations. We'll work together to soothe those anxious nerves and bring you back to living a connected life. Polyvagal therapy feels like giving yourself a big, comforting hug from the inside out while creating a more grounded and resilient state of being. Through mindful practices and gentle interventions, you'll relearn how to befriend your body, find solace in its wisdom, and truly live again.
