My Approach

A compassionate, body-based path to CPTSD recovery.

Complex PTSD is not a flaw in your character — it's a normal response to abnormal, prolonged stress. This is not traditional talk therapy alone. We work with the nervous system and body, because that's where trauma lives.

My work draws from

Four interwoven threads that meet you where your nervous system is — never pushing past what feels safe.

01

Somatic & Nervous System Regulation

Inspired by polyvagal theory and Janina Fisher's parts work — gently helping your nervous system find its way back to safety.

02

Emotional Flashback Management

Using Pete Walker's framework to recognize and move through emotional flashbacks with grounded, practical tools.

03

Self-Compassion & Inner Child Healing

Replacing the inner critic with a kind, observing presence so old shame can soften.

04

Mindfulness & Self-Awareness

Quiet practices that build the capacity to notice, name, and stay with experience without overwhelm.

Safety is the foundation of every session. Together, we help you:

  • Recognize and manage emotional flashbacks and triggers
  • Reconnect with your body in a gentle, non-overwhelming way
