Healing from Childhood Trauma
The experiences of our past shape us in ways we don’t always realize. When we’ve been through childhood trauma, the defense mechanisms we developed to survive can follow us into adulthood—keeping us guarded, distant, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. Though they once protected you, they may now be holding you back from deep connections, healthy relationships, or even believing that you are enough.
Healing is possible. I am trauma-informed, EMDR-trained, and incorporate somatic work to help you process and release the past in a way that feels safe and empowering. Together, we will explore these patterns with compassion, not to place blame, but to help you step into the life you want—free from the weight of old wounds.
You are not your trauma. You deserve to feel whole. Let’s take this journey together.
Midlife, Perimenopause & Menopause – Finding Yourself in the Changes
This stage of life brings so many shifts—your body, your identity, your relationships. The first wrinkles appear, you’re called “Ma’am” for the first time, and your hormones seem to have a mind of their own. You may feel invisible, disconnected, or unsure of who you are now that your kids (if you have them) need you less or your relationship feels different. It’s a lot to hold.
You’re not alone in this. I’ve been running a group called Women Talking, a space dedicated to these very challenges, and I also work with individuals navigating this transition. Together, we’ll explore grounding techniques to help you feel centered, reconnect with yourself, and redefine what this next chapter can be for you.
You are still you—and this can be a time of growth, clarity, and new possibilities. Let’s find your way forward, together.
Navigating the Highs and Lows of Creativity
Being an artist is deeply personal—your work isn’t just something you do, it’s a part of who you are. So when you face rejection, burnout, or the need to pivot in a new direction, it can feel overwhelming. The creative world can be exhilarating, but it also comes with uncertainty, self-doubt, and challenges like ageism or shifting industries.
As a former creative professional of 30 years, I understand the unique struggles artists face. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, process the disappointments, and find a way forward that feels true to you.
Your creativity is valuable. You are more than your work. Let’s find a way to move through this with clarity and resilience.
Caregiver Support
I have trained and volunteered in a community mental health facility for people with Alzheimer’s and dementia, called OPICA. I’ve seen what disease does to the person with it and the families who are providing support. There is a lot of emphasis is on getting care for the person who is sick, but the caregivers need support too. You are often overlooked, overburdened and burned out. I want to be a person who listens and really hears what you are going through. I want to help you navigate the difficult discussions with friends and family members to let them know what you need and expect from them. I want to have a place to calmly think through the hard decisions you need to make about care.
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps you process and heal from distressing memories, particularly those related to trauma. It is effective for conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and emotional difficulties.
When a traumatic event happens, your brain is too overwhelmed to process the event. It's like there are file drawers in your brain and the file gets left on the floor. Because of this the event and the feelings attached to it stays available to you, causing you to react to certain situations as if the trauma were happening. EMDR lets the brain reprocess the event and put it into the right file drawer. By doing this the sting is taken out of the memory for you. You will still remember it, but the feelings attached to it will be neutralized.
