Work with me

I specialize in healing from Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) and burnout using the NeuroAffective Relational Model™ (NARM).

C-PTSD is a result of prolonged, repeated interpersonal and environmental failures. It is also known as complex, developmental, relational, attachment, and generational trauma. The patterns we developed in order to survive this trauma are also what can cause us to burn ourselves out. As an example, a common pattern is not listening to our bodies and emotions; instead, we may override them by placing unrealistic pressure and demands on ourselves.

Burnout is a process that can occur when we have repeated and prolonged high demands that exceed our available resources. Oftentimes, burnout is considered in a workplace setting, but burnout can be experienced alongside other life pressures and excessive demands such as responsibilities as a caregiver/parent, relational stress, or living with a chronic illness or condition.

In our work together, we will use the NARM framework to explore your survival patterns and how they are getting in the way of what you want most. We will meet them with presence, curiosity, and compassion so that you can become an expert on your inner world. When you are able to see and feel what’s happening inside more clearly, you can also rebuild your capacity for connection to yourself and to others.

Sessions are 90 minutes long, allowing us space to explore more deeply without the added pressure of time.
