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.

Like many people who find their way to this work, I spent well over a decade searching for a way to resolve my own CPTSD. While 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. Over time, the effects of chronic threat extended beyond my emotional life, leaving me bedridden with a range of health complications.

Those experiences ultimately changed what I believed healing required. My search to resolve my own suffering brought me to approaches centered on the nervous system and the therapeutic relationship, where I experienced the deeper change I had been seeking. This led me to complete the three-year Somatic Experiencing Practitioner® training and later serve as an instructor at the Psychedelic Somatic Institute (PSIP).

Since then, my work has continued to evolve as I've tried to understand why trauma therapy leads to lasting change for some, while leaving others more stuck or overwhelmed. That question has reshaped the way I work and informed the development of the Developmental Continuity Framework (DCF), an emerging model for severe complex trauma and developmental disruption.

Healing is an intimate and vulnerable experience. Feeling safe, seen, and accepted by another is essential to that process. If you feel we might be a good fit, let’s start with a conversation and take it from there.
