My Approach to Therapy

Trauma Informed

Trauma causes our brain to remain in the fight, flight, or freeze mode. Experiencing trauma can occur at any stage in our lives. When it occurs during childhood it impacts our brain development causing us to react to using instinct when we feel stress. Constantly being on alert is damaging to our physical and mental health.

 

 Rewiring our brains can result is trauma resolution, improved emotional self-regulation, increased use of coping tools and techniques, and a brain that has been rewired for healthy reactions.

Cultural safety is more than just accepting others regardless of our differences. It is having an understanding of how culture, race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status affect our mental health and wellbeing.

I create a safe space, free from judgement and bias, welcoming clients from all walks of life. I provide my clients with support specific to who they are and their unique life experiences.
