My Story
My story, and that of my practice, begins with my own underworld journey. After experiencing a violent, acute 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. 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, but are not limited to:
Trauma
Abuse
Military, police, or emergency service (especially in having to make certain decisions or not having a choice)
Rape and/or sexual assault
Mental health diagnoses
Addiction, compulsion, or disordered eating
Affairs
Divorce
Siblings
Parental suicide or suicide of one’s child
A freeze response
Committing an offense
Family dysfunction
Having shame-based parents (inc. emotional immaturity, addiction, and psychological disorders)
Bullying
Not living a traditional lifestyle
Being childfree
Incarceration
Political beliefs
Kink
Public shaming (‘cancel culture’)
Being the child of immigrants
Separation from parents at a young age inc. adoption and foster care
Poverty
Abortion
Abandonment
Family estrangement
Religion and/or indoctrination
Sexual orientation and/or gender
Long-term parental guilt
Regret or guilt about life choices
Domestic abuse
Growing up in a culture with a legacy of trauma, conflict, persecution, or shame
Also…
My practice is trauma-trained not just trauma-informed (meaning I lead trauma recovery), integrated (meaning it calls upon multiple techniques), and offers unconditional acceptance regardless of my clients’ source of shame.
Simply, this is a place to change how you feel.
