I became a trauma therapist because I saw how our communities and society has treated so many survivors. I saw how survival strategies — hypervigilance, dissociation, people-pleasing, rage were labeled as pathology. I saw how therapy rooms sometimes asked survivors to soften themselves, or separate their trauma from the systems that shaped it. And I decided to approach healing in a different way.

In our work together, we slow down. We listen to what your body has been carrying. We make room for grief, desire, rage and vulnerability. We acknowledge the way systems have harmed us, and identify ways to strengthen your connection to others, to your community, and to yourself. Together, we create space that allows your nervous system to rest, and that allows your body to live.
