The impact of complex trauma is profound, affecting emotional regulation, self-perception, and relationships.

One may experience feelings of shame, guilt, and unworthiness, alongside symptoms such as hypervigilance, dissociation, or difficulty trusting others.

Over time, complex trauma can shape core beliefs about safety, love, and identity, leaving lasting imprints on the mind, nervous system, and spirit.

Healing from complex trauma involves creating safety, fostering self-compassion, and reconnecting with one’s inner resources, often with the support of somatic techniques and other holistic modalities which we’ll explore together.

Grief is a natural and deeply personal response to loss, encompassing a wide range of emotions such as deep sadness, regret, anger, confusion, and longing.

It arises not only from the death of a loved one but also from other forms of loss, such as relationships, identity, health, or dreams.

Grief can feel overwhelming, affecting both the heart and body, as it challenges our sense of normalcy and connection.

Enduring significant loss can sometimes leave us seeking answers and a path toward exploring deeper meaning in this lifetime.

Grief is a spiritual journey that connects us back to the depth of our heart, you need not walk the path in isolation.

As a queer-identified individual living in a culture that teaches conformity and comfort, one faces innumerable challenges.

Discrimination, marginalization, rejection, medical inequity and systemic oppression create trauma, severe emotional disturbances, and feelings of isolation.

I dream of a world where the phenomenon of “coming out” no longer exists and who we go to bed with or how we express our gender is as interesting as paint drying.

Until then, I’m here and queer and want you to feel seen, empowered, and cherished.

Together, we’ll co-create a safe and nurturing therapeutic relationship that not only honors but celebrates your unique authenticity, channeling this as a source of strength as you heal.

Anxiety often manifests as excessive worry, fear, or restlessness, accompanied by physical symptoms such as a racing heart, tension, or difficulty sleeping.

It can make everyday tasks feel overwhelming and hijack the mind with "what-ifs" and worst-case scenarios.

Depression is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness, often accompanied by fatigue, loss of interest in activities, and challenges with motivation or self-worth.

It can feel like a heavy fog, clouding one’s ability to find joy or purpose.

Together, we’ll enhance your awareness of how these symptoms and patterns impact your life and identify beneficial tools for healing and liberation.
