As a trauma therapist I put my client in charge of the sessions. I use a gentle somatic, mindful approach for the client to explore and extinguishing trauma triggers and allow my clients to recreate their relationship to their traumatic event. This will alleviate shame, guilt, reactivity and expand into a new rewarding relationship with yourself and others. I have 35 years in the health and mental care industry working with diverse populations in age and culture. I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology/ All But Dissertation as well as a Master in Fine Arts. My specialty is trauma informed care and PTSD and I am a certified mindfulness therapist.My main focus is trauma treatment from early childhood trauma to PTSD. We will move gently individualising sessions so you get the most out of your time and get the most benefit for what fits your needs. You will be the one in charge of the speed and progression of the therapy. We will walk through this process side by side together. I prefer Hakomi for my trauma treatment. The process is an intuitive, somatic interplay and cognitive, self exploration making it very effective. Hakomi is a gentle yet powerful experiential psychotherapy that uses mindfulness and somatic interventions to heal attachment wounds and developmental trauma. I couple this with many multimodal treatments depending on the preference of the client. I work for copay price or a negotiated sliding scale.
