My Approach to Helping

Do you feel lost? Are you searching for something without knowing what that something is? Is there an emptiness inside that has made you feel lonely? I specialize in TRAUMA, and those symptoms may be byproducts of an unresolved past. My clients come to me for a variety of reasons - from anxiety, depression, workplace issues, racial-cultural struggles, dissociative disorders to trauma. I work on building tools that help you unravel your past, recognize behavior patterns, and improve your overall well-being. My holistic approach reconnects the mind, body, and spirit, allowing you to reclaim yourself and live the life you want.

Sometimes we need someone who “sees” us, understands us, and is able to partner with us in our struggles. My Advanced Trauma Training focuses on long-term holistic healing. I customize my therapy to YOU, eclectically using the many pieces of training in my therapy toolbelt - Somatics, Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Transpersonal, and EMDR.

It's important to feel comfortable & safe with whomever you work with. Finding a therapist requires a deep alliance & healing hinges on that therapeutic relationship. When you're struggling that relationship becomes even more important. Sometimes it's hard to take the first step and ask for help. I honor you reaching out and moving towards wellness.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

WORKPLACE TRAUMA FOR HIGH-PERFORMING EXECUTIVES & PROFESSIONALS
High-performing executives and professionals lack the same systems of protection within an organization. Especially in marginalized populations (women, sexual minorities, religious minorities, and BIPOC), speaking up and advocating for oneself simply isn't a possibility. The consequences then impact the individual holistically, personally and professionally. Moving forward requires the engagement of a specialist intimately aware of the nuances of corporate trauma, especially among high-performing executives & professionals. My extensive research combined with my many years in Senior Leadership at prominent companies, allows me to understand various dimensions of my client that may be impacting them.
