Clinical Bio 

I am a trauma therapist specializing in complex trauma and dissociative disorders. I have been in practice for six years and am certified in Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Level II), and I incorporate DBT skills for regulation and stabilization.  

My work is grounded in a phase-oriented approach to trauma treatment, with a strong emphasis on early stabilization and trauma resolution for clients with dissociative symptoms. I draw from parts-based models, somatic approaches, and emerging neuroscience, particularly predictive processing, to help clients understand not just what is happening internally, but why their system learned to function this way.  

I work primarily with adults navigating complex trauma, dissociation, and identity disruption, and I tailor treatment to the individual in a way that prioritizes safety, pacing, and meaningful integration over symptom suppression.  

What I Really Want You to Know 

Many people come to therapy having already tried very hard to “get better.” If you’ve felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like nothing quite fits, there is likely a reason for that—and it isn’t a lack of effort.  

I approach therapy with the assumption that your mind and nervous system are organized around survival. Even the patterns that feel frustrating or self-defeating tend to have a history that makes sense when we slow down enough to understand them. My role is not to override those patterns, but to help you build enough safety and awareness that your system can begin to shift them from the inside.  

I work in a collaborative, structured way. This isn’t about quick fixes, but it also isn’t aimless. We focus on building stability, increasing your capacity to stay present, and helping different parts of you communicate more effectively, so that change becomes possible in a way that actually lasts.  

How I Weave Trauma Model Therapy Into My Practice 

Trauma Model Therapy (TMT) aligns closely with how I understand complex trauma—as a system of learned adaptations that developed in response to overwhelming or inescapable environments. In my work, I use TMT principles to help clients identify the logic of their symptoms, particularly in areas like dissociation, self-sabotage, and behavioral patterns that feel out of control.  

Rather than viewing these responses as problems to eliminate, we explore how they functioned as solutions at different points in time. This creates a foundation for reducing shame and increasing internal coherence.  

I integrate TMT with parts work, somatic interventions, and skills-based approaches to support stabilization first, because lasting trauma healing depends on the nervous system having enough safety and capacity to process without becoming overwhelmed. From there, we begin to build a more cohesive sense of self, where different parts of your experience can exist without conflict or fragmentation.  

The goal is not just insight, but a shift in how your system organizes itself, so that you are no longer living from survival alone, but from a place that includes choice, flexibility, and continuity over time.
