As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), I specialize in the long-term effects of childhood trauma. Working alongside other women who have experienced the pain of childhood abuse and neglect—childhood sexual abuse, in particular—I help my clients discover new and empowering pathways for healing.
A Bit About My Approach To Therapy
I seek to address symptoms at the core rather than taking a surface-level approach. Using a combination of somatic (body-based) and attachment techniques, I help clients understand the effect of trauma on the mind and body.
Trauma symptoms are directly linked to our own unique physiology and history, so trauma treatment should be equally unique. My goal is to help clients discover healthier outlets for exploring and expressing their emotions as they develop newfound trust in their inner wisdom.
What You Can Expect From Our Sessions Together
My approach to therapy involves a highly individualized combination of body-based, attachment-focused approaches that target core traumas. By slowing down, reconnecting with your body, and developing strategies for staying grounded, you can learn to tolerate and respond to your emotions in a healthy way. This will help you to be more confident in yourself, aware of your triggers, and better able to set boundaries that will protect you.
Reconnecting with your body through somatic therapy will help you feel safer and more at ease, especially as we heal the parts of yourself you feel ashamed of or disconnected from. In addition to learning skills for befriending your body, you will gain new coping habits, boundary-setting skills, and a stronger sense of empowerment. As you practice feeling safe and expressing your needs, you are likely to see all of the relationships in your life improve—including the one you have with yourself.
Therapy is an opportunity to feel more connected to yourself and the world around you. By learning to trust your inner wisdom in a nonjudgmental, supportive counseling space, you can finally heal and overcome the obstacles that have been holding you back.
Gentle, trauma-informed counseling is the gateway to more peace and joy in your life. I work with clients in California, Florida, and Israel and am available for free, 15-minute consultations scheduled via my site
