Trauma can take many forms such as:

• relational trauma, including experiences that are preverbal or beyond our conscious memory

• witnessing or experiencing acts of violence, danger or cruelty, including sexual assault, physical or emotional abuse, and car accidents

• growing up in families impacted by mental illness, personality disorders, or addiction (“don’t talk, don’t trust, don’t feel”)

• trauma relating to racism, sexism, heteronormativity, cisnormativity, ableism, immigration, and other experiences of marginalization and/or persecution

• separation from a caregiver, sibling or other loved one

• medical procedures 

• intergenerational transmission of trauma

I work with clients who have experienced single incident and/or complex trauma (repeated traumatic experiences over an extended period of time) using a relational approach. My goal is to help clients understand how trauma has impacted them throughout the life cycle and put into place effective coping strategies. Among other modalities, I incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic work, psychedelic integration, and attachment-based interventions to help clients rewire their nervous systems.
