Safety
My first goal as a therapist is to provide a space of acceptance and safety. I am a member of the LGBTQI+ community and I emphasize the importance of BIPOC, queer, trans and neurodivergent affirming practices.
Why trauma therapy?
I believe that those "surprise" emotional moments that we can't quite understand -whether it's a shut-down response, panic, rage, fear of abandonment - are all connected to unresolved emotions and experiences in childhood. Without fully healing and embracing our child selves, or our "inner wild," we cannot be fully awake and engaged in the world as our best adult selves.
