About

I help people move from dysregulation (anxiety, overwhelm, shut down) to regulation (relaxed, engaged, enlivened). I do this with evidence-based approaches that target the core of your trauma. But first, what is "trauma"? Trauma isn't necessarily an event, its a way your nervous system adapted to life. When an adaptation is no longer serving you, it manifests as dysregulation. We can heal your nervous system, taking it out of fight/flight and into it’s "window of tolerance" where you can not just survive, but thrive. On our journey, we'll create new meaning, integrate experiences, break cycles and build boundaries. Here are some of the things we might work on together: 1. Getting to know different ‘parts’ of yourself, even those in the shadows 2. Feeling support to make challenging life decisions 3. Recovering from a traumatic experience 4. Understanding you family system more deeply and honestly 5. Learning to cope in a healthier way 6. Reclaiming your strengths
