Women have a complex and multi-layered relationship to their bodies - layers of shaming and conditioning around our body image, self-worth, sexuality, pleasure, menstruation, menopause, pregnancy, ageing, motherhood, and so much more. Women also carry immense pain within their wombs related to infertility, pregnancy loss through miscarriage and abortion, sexual violation and assault, medical procedures, and through internalized misogyny- all of which have a great impact on our body, minds, and souls. Feeling safe, vital, and connected to both yourself and others is your birthright. Deeply loving your body and womanhood is possible. View 4 Photos I am a trauma-informed, pleasure-positive, body-based practitioner and teacher that merges both the somatic psychotherapeutic realms with the deep spiritual womb mysteries.

I have also trained in alternative & holistic healing modalities such as breathwork & quantum energy healing.

I believe that beneath every symptom that creates our suffering is a wise, healthy, and whole Self yearning to break free of old shackles and guide us home to the person we are meant to be. In this way, I help clients to reconceptualize their issues as road signs that are guiding them on their path of healing; just the same way that physical symptoms like a fever or ache directs us to an ailment that needs addressing, so too do psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, or addictions, point to a deeper underlying wound that is calling to be healed. Our goal is to not simply survive, but thrive. View 7 Photos I currently serve as clinical supervisor and program director at a group practice serving our islands.

Psychological trauma occurs when our level of stress exceeds our ability to cope with that stress. When this happens, our subconscious minds often develop cognitive distortions and a disregulated nervous system (stuck in fight-or-flight survival mode) that can then lead to maladaptive behaviors. This may show up as feeling anxious or depressed, ADHD symptoms, memory issues & dissociation, feeling stuck, or lacking stability, motivation, & focus in life. My specialty is using EMDR to help womxn who have been subjected to narcissistic abuse or domestic violence by men. If this sounds like you, please reach out for a free consultation.
