Beyond Talk Therapy: Therapy to Help Transform Your Life

Welcome. How many times have you given in to self-sabotaging habits? Perhaps old childhood coping strategies, or early wounds, are at the root. Mere understanding why you feel bad, or out of control, often doesn’t help. So I offer trauma-informed tools aimed at liberating you from your past--beyond symptom management.

I help people with:

  • childhood Trauma (c-PTSD) or wounding from unmet needs

  • believing your harsh inner critic

  • recurring tendencies that limit fulfilling relationships

  • people-pleasing

  • catastrophizing

  • perfectionism

  • Imposter Syndrome

  • anxiety, hypervigilance, or panic

  • difficulty concentrating

  • inexplicable fears, overwhelm, uncomfortable body sensations, or even flashbacks

Perhaps you’ve tried talk therapy but seek more profound “below the iceberg” kind of change? Talking may not be enough to change the impact of early wounds from trauma or mis-attuned caregivers.

It's Not You, it’s Your Biology

A not-so-fun fact: When a situation activates an earlier painful memories, our logical brain can get ambushed by stronger survival responses. This makes it hard to think or have empathy. We react vs. respond..

You might blame yourself for not "fixing" your issues. However, it’s your ingrained biology and not your free will that takes you off course.

Experience and Training Matters

As a seasoned trauma-informed therapist, I help clients update their deeply ingrained thinking and behaviors with evidence-based approaches. They include:

  • EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

  • Somatic mindfulness based therapy (Sensorimotor psychotherapy)

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Trauma-informed stabilization treatment (TIST)

  • The Flash Technique.

In using these “tools,” I also partner with my clients to help them access their inner wisdom and healing potential. I offer a warm and welcoming space. Also, I come to each session with curiosity, compassion, and presence.
