Therapy for relational trauma

I specialize in working with adults who experienced difficult childhoods. I have worked with people who’s childhoods included such experiences as: first generation immigrant, intergenerational trauma, emotionally immature parents/caretakers, physical and emotional abuse and/or neglect (including bullying), parental substance use, caretaker mental health issues, high control religion, financial insecurity, and sexual assault & abuse.

I have lived experience, training, and counseling experience that make me a qualified counselor for parents, LGTBQ+, neurodivergent, and ethically non-monogamous people. I am experienced working with individuals with complex trauma symptoms that are diagnosed as Borderline Personality Disorder and Dissociative Disorders (including DID and OSDD).

Providing effective trauma therapy is important to me so I believe in learning from the lived experiences of individuals. I previously worked as a program therapist at a trauma focused intensive outpatient program that specialized in care for those with dissociative disorders. I am a Certified Trauma Professional and certified in Trauma Model Therapy. I am EMDR trained and take continuing education and consultation to safely use EMDR with dissociation.
