Evidence-Based, Holistic
Trauma-Informed Care
My Methods: Evidence-Based, Holistic Trauma-Informed Care
When it comes to healing from the impact of past trauma, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why my approach is both evidence-based and holistic, designed to honor the complexity of your experience while offering practical, science-backed strategies that create real, lasting change.
Being trauma-informed means I don’t just treat symptoms—I consider how your life experiences, past and present, have shaped your nervous system, your patterns, and your sense of self. It means creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and empowered at every step. Together, we work gently with what’s stored in the body and mind, without re-traumatization or unnecessary overwhelm.
Evidence-Based Practices Rooted in Neuroscience
I integrate proven methods grounded in the latest research on trauma, the brain, and the nervous system. These may include:
Brainspotting
EMDR
Neuroscience-informed education — so you understand how trauma affects your body, emotions, and behaviors, and what’s possible in healing.
Mind-body regulation techniques — simple, accessible tools to help calm your nervous system, shift out of survival mode, and build resilience.
Behavioral and mindset shifts — structured approaches that help you unlearn patterns like over-functioning, people-pleasing, and perfectionism that may have kept you safe in the past but are no longer serving you.
All of these are evidence-backed approaches drawn from disciplines like trauma psychology, somatic therapies, polyvagal theory, and behavioral science.
Holistic: Honoring the Whole You
Healing isn’t just about the mind or body—it’s about your whole self. My work blends
Emotional support — helping you reconnect with your feelings in safe, manageable ways.
Physical awareness — guiding you in tuning into the signals of your body, so you can move from disconnection to wholeness.
Relational attunement — supporting you in building healthier boundaries and authentic connections with others.
Identity reclamation — helping you rediscover who you are beneath survival patterns, roles, and expectations.
A Personalized Process
No two healing journeys are the same. That’s why I meet you where you are—whether you’re just beginning to explore trauma’s impact on your life or you’re ready to go deeper into creating lasting change. My methods are always collaborative, compassionate, and paced for your needs.
