My Story
My story, and that of my practice, begins with my own underworld journey. After experiencing an acute violent trauma in 2016, my body healed but invisible wounds remained. The medical system delivered miracles for my body but it had little to offer my mind and spirit, so I was left in the darkness, alone, to find my own way out.
Which I did, with the help of healing modalities that Western medicine is only beginning to embrace. These techniques regarded the importance of integrating mind, body, and soul in the healing process. Somatic (body-based) therapies, EFT in particular, were beacons, guiding me to relief any time the water became too turbulent to stay afloat.
What issues do I work with?
While I work with a broad range of issues, my areas of specialism are shame and trauma including (C)PTSD. In fact, I describe the process of unlearning toxic shame as Shamework and it is the most profound work we will ever do.
Sources of shame can include trauma; abuse; military service; rape; mental health diagnoses; addiction; affairs; coercion; divorce; siblings; parental suicide; a freeze response; committing an offense; being a victim of an offense; family dysfunction; bullying; not living a traditional lifestyle; being childfree; political beliefs; kink; public shaming; being the child of immigrants; poverty; family estrangement; religion; sexual orientation or gender; parental guilt; regret about making certain life choices; and growing up in a culture with a legacy of trauma, conflict, or shame.
My practice is trauma-trained (not just trauma-informed), integrated (meaning it calls upon a number of techniques), and a safe space for clients to be, or perhaps find, their authentic selves.
Quite simply, this is a place to change how you feel.
