I am a licensed psychologist specialized in the treatment of trauma. My passion is to help people who have experienced a physical, emotional or sexual trauma. My philosophy is to use cutting edge treatment modalities that blend mind and body techniques.
Following a trauma it is common to have disturbing thoughts, vivid nightmares, high anxiety, depression, isolation, fears and feelings of being stuck. It is also common to have difficulties with sleeping or eating. Substance abuse, compulsive self-harming behaviors, and dissociation can also occur. These symptoms sometimes can last many years disabling the person from fully enjoying life and significant relationships.
At times, when a trauma occurs it seems to get locked within the nervous system and the body. My philosophy in working with trauma consists of a combination of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), SE (Somatic Experiencing), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Gestalt therapy, and energy work.
My goal is to help you release the trauma without overwhelming you. My approach is gentle yet direct. Working with trauma is a serious job and client's emotional safety is my first concern. When dealing with traumatic memories, I encourage the client to take it slowly. When I meet with a new client, I first focus on increasing their inner strength which organically exists within each of us. Through the combination of these techniques and the energy work, in sessions you will learn how to center your self within your body, release old trauma, and reconstruct your life. |
