Trauma Informed Care
You are allowed to take up space. You are allowed to be seen. You are allowed to heal. And more than that, you deserve to.
Compassionate Care for Complex & Developmental Trauma
I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced complex and developmental trauma, wounds that are often overlooked, leaving people feeling unseen and unheard. My approach is deeply compassionate, grounded in the belief that healing is as unique as the person seeking it.
By combining Trauma-Informed Care with the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), I create a space that cultivates trust, security, and meaningful change. Trauma-Informed Care lays the groundwork for deep healing, ensuring that clients feel understood and supported, while NARM helps untangle the survival patterns that have shaped emotions, identity, and relationships. My work focuses on meeting each person where they are, carefully guiding them through their healing process by gradually easing into difficult memories within their Window of Tolerance. This approach prevents emotional overload and allows for meaningful breakthroughs, helping individuals reconnect with themselves, regain personal strength, and move forward in a way that feels right for them.
Inner Child & Self-reclamation
There are parts of you that have been waiting to be seen, heard, and understood. Inner child work is about reconnecting with those forgotten, wounded, or silenced parts, offering them the care they always deserved. Through self-reclamation, you can step into your full self, beyond the limits of past conditioning.
Substance Use
Substance use is often misunderstood as a personal failing when, in reality, it can be a survival strategy, a way to cope with deep, unresolved wounds, particularly those stemming from childhood trauma. When early experiences disrupt a person’s sense of safety, connection, and emotional regulation, substances or compulsive behaviors can become adaptive solutions to unbearable pain. Substance use is not the problem itself; it is an attempt to soothe the nervous system, numb distress, or regain a sense of control in a world that once felt unpredictable and unsafe. Healing from addiction requires compassionate exploration, not just of the behavior, but of the underlying trauma that fuels it, untangling survival patterns, restoring self-trust, and creating new ways to experience relief without self-destruction.
