I specialize in complex and developmental trauma, with a focus on how early relationships and environments shape the nervous system, attachment, and the relationship to ourselves. I emphasize the nervous system and the therapeutic relationship as the primary pathways to resolve core wounds, an approach shaped by over a decade of working with trauma and psychedelics. My work is less about helping people manage their symptoms and more about resolving the underlying trauma that continues to drive them.

Like many people who find their way to this work, I spent years searching for a way to resolve my own CPTSD. While years of talk therapy, psychedelics, and meditation retreats brought meaningful insights and stability, they did not change the persistent sense of threat I felt in my nervous system and relationships. That search led me to complete the three-year Somatic Experiencing Practitioner® training and later serve as an instructor for the Psychedelic Somatic Institute, experiences that profoundly shaped my understanding of the nervous system, the therapeutic relationship, and the conditions necessary for trauma resolution.

My ongoing exploration of what makes deeper fundamental shifts possible has continued to reshape my clinical work and led me to develop the Relational Corrective Capacity (RCC) Model, an emerging framework examining why trauma processing alone may be insufficient to truly resolve the longstanding effects of complex trauma. This model emphasizes the need to reopen and repair the developmental process that was interrupted by the lack of secure attachment in early relationships, to make the structural changes in how we experience ourselves and relationships possible.
