A Place to Come Back to Yourself

Trauma-informed therapeutic work that blends grounded skills with creative and soulful practices— so healing can feel both steady and alive.

You don’t have to arrive here with a clear story or a plan. You only need a willingness to begin where you are. If you’re here, there may be a part of you that’s tired of carrying so much alone.

This work is about creating enough safety to listen—to your body, your inner world, and the parts of you that have learned how to endure. My role is to offer steady support and thoughtful guidance, so you don’t have to perform or explain yourself perfectly. We move at the speed of trust.

How I Work with Trauma and Ex-Cult Concerns

Core Principles

  • Trauma-informed, collaborative, paced

  • Nervous-system aware: we track activation, overwhelm, dissociation

  • Safety first: stabilization and resourcing woven throughout

Tools and Approaches

  • Self-compassion practices (working with shame, inner critic, tender parts)

  • Bilateral stimulation (for regulation and processing)

  • SoulCollage® (imagery as a doorway: meaning, memory, longing, strength)

  • Skills-based support (grounding, emotion regulation, distress tolerance as needed)

  • Parts-aware work (meeting the protectors, listening for what’s underneath, creating safe space for exiles to emerge)

  • Clinical options: EMDR / Brainspotting / IFS/

We’ll work with both your story and what your body remembers—what happened, and what your body learned it had to do to survive.

I’ll hold space for intense emotional expression as well as gaining personal responsibility for moving forward
