IF YOU FOUND MY PROFILE, YOU LIKELY DON'T NEED ME TO TELL YOU...

Healing from trauma, anxiety, or a nervous system stuck in survival mode is going to take more than a therapist who just smiles, nods, and passes a tissue week after week while you talk in circles.

​The very fact that your search results landed you on this exact profile isn’t random.. It means you’re aching for real help with the heavy stuff—Trauma, Anxiety and a Nervous System that feels constantly fried every single week, people take to my "couch" because, when it comes to their painful past, they refuse to accept that they "Just have to learn to live" with what happened to them.

Fortunately, that's a LIE.

​What is unfortunate, is that standard therapy schooling often skims over the deep complexities of PTSD, C-PTSD, and severe anxiety disorders- Let alone teach the modalities to effectively treat it.

In fact, well-meaning professionals can unknowingly cause people to take steps backward instead of forward.

The science is clear: true healing from these issues requires specialized, heavy-hitting approaches.

These are the approaches I am closely trained in as an ADVANCED CLINICAL CERTIFIED TRAUMA SPECIALIST.

​Sometimes people wonder, "Whoa. Wait. Maybe the experiences causing me distress aren't 'big' enough for these sophisticated treatments?" My answer to that is simple: Your nervous system doesn’t possess a tape measure, and it doesn't read history books. It doesn't care if your past looks like a Hollywood movie or a quiet, slow-burning ache. If a memory, a relationship, or an old wound is keeping you stuck in survival mode today, it is big enough.
