Whether you're carrying the effects of sexual trauma or feeling disconnected from yourself, I’m here to support you as you begin your healing journey. My trauma-informed approach is collaborative and grounded in psychodynamic theory, while integrating IFS, EMDR, inner child work, CBT, and relational psychotherapy. Together, we’ll gently explore how sexual trauma may be held in both the mind and body, creating space for safety, nervous system regulation, and deeper self-understanding.
