Trauma-Informed Therapy for Addiction, Childhood Trauma, and Emotional Healing

Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Therapy, and Holistic Mental Health Support

I am a trauma-informed therapist specializing in addiction recovery, childhood trauma, complex PTSD, and emotional healing. With more than seven years of experience in the addiction field, I began to ask deeper questions about what happens before addiction takes root. That search for understanding led me to a holistic, mind-body approach to therapy that focuses on healing the root causes rather than just treating symptoms.

My work combines Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Techniques to help individuals reconnect with their bodies, process unresolved trauma, and create lasting change. I believe true recovery begins with understanding your inner parts, rebuilding trust with yourself, and learning to regulate emotions with compassion and awareness.

My Therapy Approach

I offer a safe, grounded space where you can explore your inner experiences without judgment. My style is collaborative, relational, and trauma-sensitive, guided by curiosity and care.

Core elements of my approach include:

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore and integrate parts of the self
• Somatic therapy to release stored trauma and reconnect with the body
• Mindfulness and grounding practices for emotional regulation and awareness
• A holistic focus that considers the mind, body, and nervous system

Together, we work to understand survival-based coping patterns, build emotional regulation skills, and develop a stronger sense of internal safety and self-connection.

How These Approaches Help

• Internal Family Systems (IFS): Supports healing by helping you identify and integrate wounded parts of the self with compassion and curiosity.
• Somatic Therapy: Uses body awareness and gentle movement to process trauma stored in the nervous system and restore balance.
• Mindfulness Practices: Strengthen emotional awareness, reduce anxiety, and increase the capacity for calm and presence.

This integrative framework helps reduce the impact of trauma, build resilience, and support long-term emotional and behavioral recovery.

Areas of Focus

I work with adults, including women and college students, who are seeking to understand and heal from patterns rooted in trauma or survival.

Common areas of focus include:

• Addiction and Recovery: Address the root causes of addiction through trauma-informed therapy and emotional regulation.
• Childhood and Complex Trauma: Process unresolved trauma and attachment wounds using IFS and somatic approaches.
• Identity and Self-Worth: Strengthen self-understanding, self-compassion, and confidence.
• Relationships and Attachment: Explore attachment patterns and build secure, authentic connections.
• Emotional Dysregulation: Develop practical tools to manage anxiety, overwhelm, and stress.

Many clients begin to experience greater stability, self-trust, and clarity as they integrate these methods into daily life.
