You’ve done the therapy. Now you want depth.
You can talk about your trauma but still feel it. The overthinking, numbness, and disconnection remain.
This isn’t talk therapy that replays the same story. We work with your body, nervous system, and unconscious patterns to help you move forward. Slow, steady, and honest. You don’t have to be strong.
Just be present.
What changes through this work
We offer trauma-attuned therapy that works with your body, your nervous system, and the deeper patterns that keep you stuck. We slow down to feel what’s been hard to access alone. This work blends somatic healing, depth psychology, and cultural sensitivity. It’s steady, honest, and relational. You don’t have to be strong here, just present.
Embrace relief from ongoing distress
A trauma-informed, body-attuned, depth-oriented approach to what's been too hard to heal on your own.
-
You’ve survived what others wouldn’t understand, but your body still lives like it’s in danger.
I use somatic therapy, parts work, and depth psychology to help calm your nervous system and release what’s been trapped inside for years.
Together, we make space for the strength underneath the survival so you can stop bracing and start living. -
You’re either on edge or completely shut down. The smallest things feel huge, and the big things feel impossible.
Through mindfulness-based somatic therapy and emotion-focused work, we help your system come back into balance.
This is where clarity returns, energy comes back, and life starts to feel possible again. -
Your mind moves fast, your body can’t sit still, and you’re constantly trying to keep it together.
We use body-based regulation, nervous system awareness, and practical structure to support clarity and rhythm.
Instead of fighting your system, you learn how to work with it and finally feel less burnt out by your own mind.
-
You’ve spent years managing other people’s emotions just to feel safe. Reading the room before you read yourself. Giving too much. Explaining away red flags. Staying silent just to keep the peace.
But that kind of safety is exhausting and it’s not real connection.
If you’ve outgrown these patterns but don’t know what comes next, we’ll work together to shift that. Through parts work, attachment repair, and nervous system healing, you’ll stop abandoning yourself to stay close to others.
This isn’t about becoming “better” at relationships.
It’s about feeling safe enough to be fully you, even in them.You stop performing connection and start experiencing it for real.
-
Whether it’s a death, a breakup, or the quiet unraveling of who you used to be, it’s been hard to carry.
We use somatic tracking and depth-oriented grief work to help you process what’s ending and sense what’s emerging.
Even when you don’t know what’s next, you don’t have to feel lost inside it. -
You’ve outgrown who you were told to be. Now you’re standing at the edge of who you really are.
I draw from depth psychology and culturally sensitive work to help you unlearn roles that never fit and reclaim the truth of who you are.
This is where voice, value, and self-trust begin to return.
The right therapist matters and you get to choose.
Methods I Use
You don’t need to know the names of these approaches.
You just need to feel safe enough to go deeper.
-
We move at your pace. I prioritize safety, consent, and trust so you can explore what’s hard without feeling overwhelmed.
What it helps with:
Complex or developmental trauma
Emotional dysregulation or shutdown
Fear of being re-traumatized in therapy
Feeling unsafe or on edge, even when “nothing’s wrong”
-
We tune into the body, not just the story, so healing can happen where trauma lives: in the nervous system.
What it helps with:
Emotional overwhelm, chronic tension, or body-based anxiety
Feeling disconnected or “numb”
Shutdown, panic, or hypervigilance
Learning to feel safe in your own skin
Instead of pushing emotions away or analyzing them endlessly, we build the capacity to feel without being flooded.
My work is informed by body-based trauma approaches, including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (developed by Pat Ogden), attachment theory, and depth-oriented therapy. -
We use gentle, embodied awareness to study your patterns with curiosity. Through mindful noticing, new possibilities emerge.
-
I don’t just listen. I track your tone, body language, and shifts in energy.
What it helps with:
Feeling unseen or misunderstood in past therapy or relationships
Difficulty trusting others or letting your guard down
Fear of being “too much” or “not enough”
Healing attachment wounds in a safe, reparative relationship
Learning how to connect without losing yourself
-
For clients who want to go deeper, we explore unconscious patterns, symbolic imagery, and forgotten parts of self, not to analyze you, but to reconnect you with what’s wise and whole beneath the pain.
-
We work directly with emotion, not just around it because feeling is what leads to change, not just thinking about it.
-
We explore the different “parts” of you especially the ones that protect or feel stuck.
What it helps with:
Inner conflict and self-criticism
Shame, guilt, or perfectionism
Repetitive emotional patterns or reactive states
Trauma carried by younger parts
-
We honor your cultural identity and inherited stories, while making space for who you are now.
What it helps with:
Guilt, loyalty binds, or ancestral burdens
Feeling stuck between cultures or family roles
Healing trauma passed down through generations
Reclaiming your voice, values, and truth
