My Mission
I believe that "trauma is not what happened to you — it is what happened inside you as a result of what happened". ~ Dr. Gabor Mate
Beneath many struggles lies not brokenness, but discouragement — a place where courage once faltered under the weight of pain, fear, or overwhelm.
Every symptom, every survival strategy, was once an act of courage — a way your mind, body, and spirit adapted to circumstances that felt too much to bear. I honor these survival strategies as signs of your strength, not your failure.
Even as you grow and build your life, the body and nervous system holds onto many of those things that have happened. So we need to begin healing from the inside out.
Body based and "bottom up" therapy approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, Polyvagal Nervous System Regulation, and trauma informed talk therapy can begin to each these places and truly release what no longer needs to be held.
My mission is to encourage the discouraged, to walk with those who feel weary or stuck, and to nurture in every individual the resilient courage needed to heal, grow, and face life fully.
I believe courage is not a rare trait — it is a living capacity that can be nurtured, strengthened, and lived. Healing is not just possible — it is a brave and beautiful journey toward becoming fully alive.
