About My Clients
I specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma or significant distress in their lives, whether that be recently or in the past. Our bodies adapt to trauma by creating a new template or process that helps to create a sense of safety - but can also often times be disruptive to our lives. Clients often feel as though they have lost a sense of who they are as a person or feel as though their body is no longer in their control with things like anxiety or depression.
My Background and Approach
In working with me, clients start to feel more empowered in themselves, have greater authenticity in their expressions, feel safer in their bodies, and are more confident in how to properly regulate their emotions. I do this by understanding how what has happened to you impacts the way you think, feel, and process life. We work together to discover the root causes of behaviors and explore different ways of approaching and expressing ourselves more authentically while building a partnership with our bodies. I achieve this by offering a calm, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment for you to further explore your truth in.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
A lot of my work is based around the biology of trauma and how our experiences interact with what is expect of us as a society. The reality is that trauma doesn't care if you need to wake up and work the next morning to keep your job - it just continues to exist inside our bodies causing us to react subconsciously to maintain a feeling of safety. I believe that as we gain more knowledge and understanding about how we react or why we do certain things it unlocks a new world of change for ourselves as we can start to make our subconscious more conscious as well as making decisions that connect us back to the body and our authenticity as a human. Outside of being a counselor, I also believe in the power of being outside whether that be hiking, trail running, and paddleboarding. I'm also somewhat of a movie nerd but specifically for sci-fi movies with aliens - my golden retriever is even named "Ripley" after Lt. Ellen Ripley from the movie 'Alien'.
