Deep training in the neurobiology of trauma.
My experience in forensic, inpatient, and outpatient settings has given me the breadth and depth to understand complex psychological difficulties. I specialize in working with trauma clients, am certified in EMDR, and I am on track to become an EMDR trainer of other clinicians.
I am a Level 1 Practitioner of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, trained by Janina Fisher, and I have training in Somatic Experiencing (SE™). I also bring training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and approach my work from an IFS-informed perspective.
I am trained in Psychedelic Integration through Journey Clinical and through a two-year intensive at a psilocybin training institute.
Areas of specialty training.
Beyond foundational training, I have pursued deep specialization in the areas where trauma work most often gets stuck.
Working with complexity and dissociation
Specialty training in dissociative disorders and trauma, including the fragmented self structures that complex trauma can produce.
Care that does not re-injure
Trained in recognizing and avoiding re-traumatization in the therapy room, and in supporting clinicians and helpers through compassion fatigue.
Specialized sexual trauma work
Specialty training in healing sexual trauma, including the somatic and attachment-based approaches that this work needs.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
Specialized training in ERP, the gold-standard evidence-based treatment for OCD. Structured exposure work that helps you face the loop without performing the compulsion.
Built on rigorous, ongoing training.
