Psychotherapist
I am a psychotherapist originally from the US, with over twenty years of experience providing a steady, welcoming space for people living with the effects of complex trauma, dissociation, and overwhelming life experiences. People I have served often have struggled for years to resolve chronic/persistent problems that intrude into life at the most frustrating times. They grew tired of therapies that focus only on ‘managing’ or suppressing their problems–that appealed only to their ‘thinking’ brain, or that focused on ‘what happened this week’ without addressing underlying issues. It either didn’t work or relief didn’t last. Owing to that, my approach has evolved over time and is rooted in psychodynamic principles and integrates EMDR therapy, clinical hypnosis, Ego State Therapy, and Deep Brain Reorienting.
I approach therapy as a relationship built on (sometimes slowly developing) trust, curiosity, and respect, where each person’s pace, story, inner wisdom, spirituality and cultural roots matter. I am committed to helping you feel less alone as you begin the work of understanding yourself, (re)establishing a sense of safety, and reconnecting with parts of life – and yourself – that may have felt distant or out of reach. I have significant experience working with the Rainbowcommunity.
I look forward to partnering with you in your healing journey.
