Trauma is the bodies response to real or perceived harm, it lives in our mind and body and travels across space and time.

Bodies that have lived with the impacts of trauma consistently perceive threat and are thus persistently in a stressed out state. Our brains then make meaning of our experiences (stories) so as to perpetuate a feeling of alertness, because our nervous system believes it is protecting us. Working with trauma often involves re-establishing a greater sense of safety in the body. We do this through embodiment practices; your attunement to yourself and the world around you. I offer my grounded presence and witness to your embodied vulnerability.

Through listening to your story I help build up embodied grounded relational experiences around deep vulnerability as well as compassionatly nudge you to perhaps see your story from another angle.

Other modalities and frameworks that I incorporate and do not claim expertise in:

Indigenous Psychology, Systems Theory, Intergenerational Trauma and Resiliency, IFS, Polyvagal Theory, Grief Work, Attachment Theory, AEDP.
