If you are struggling with sexual trauma or difficulty with secure connections, you don't have to do alone. There is a path forward and healers to guide you to along the way. Like, me!

​
Do you...
-
experience emotions as overwhelming, like getting sucked into an undertow or crashed by a tidal wave?
-
feel emotionally numb and half alive?
-
struggle to feel close to people?
-
feel pieced apart or broken and wish to be whole?
-
long to feel safe in your own body, or in the arms of another?
-
wish you could have sex without panic attacks, numbness, tolerating, or heavy sobbing?
-
struggle with knowing and setting your boundaries?
-
want support about how to have sex with a "trauma body?"
-
do you often feel sad or anxious with seemingly no reason?
-
too often wake up from nightmares?
-
feel "choked," like you're holding words back or can't get them out?
-
tire of relationships that feel like a never ending roller coaster ride?
-
long for a relationship where you're not villainized for your past, but rather you feel emotionally safe, heard, seen, valued, accepted, supported, and cherished?
~ You can break free from the shadows of the past ~
You so got this!
You're worth the journey.

Common modalities used: Somatic therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness. I sometimes integrate Reiki, nature therapy, art therapy, and yoga as requested, and pull from the theories presented in PolySecure.
