Therapy For PTSD

Stop coping. Start healing.

The constant hypervigilance is exhausting...

The complete overwhelm of getting triggered is even worse.

LIVING ON HIGH ALERT

You are always managing PTSD

You are always managing PTSD. You can get triggered at a grocery store, at a party, or even just by the wrong text. Then the anger, or the shame, or the total shutdown flood you. It’s like you aren’t even there anymore. Because of what you have experienced in your life, your nervous system is on high alert 24/7 and that is unsustainable.

MY APPROACH

A Little About Me

I help people heal the patterns that have kept them stuck for decades.

You are probably exhausted from all the work you are doing to manage your symptoms, your emotions, and your life. You are ready to go deeper, to heal in a lasting way. I’m ready to go there with you.

My approach is to guide you inwards to work with all the different parts of you that need healing. I combine gold standard trauma healing with somatics and psychedelic assisted therapy to help you unload the burdens that are holding you back.

IS THIS YOU?

Does any of this feel like you?

  • You need to stay busy all the time.

  • For you, relaxing isn’t relaxing.

  • Anger can show up out of nowhere.

  • The pull to take a drink, or a smoke, or check out is constant.

  • When something triggers you it’s like you have time traveled into the past.

  • This all feels like a weight you are managing all the time.

  • It can be incredibly hard to be vulnerable with people.

PTSD doesn’t have to run your whole life any more.
