I offer integrated therapy to heal from trauma and retune your neural network for nervous system regulation that integrates Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP), Gestalt psychotherapy, and mindfulness.

I specialize in working with women that have experienced stress and trauma during their lifetime.  I have experience working with work-related stress, sexual assault, incest, adult survivors of child abuse, emotional abuse, gender-based and sexual harassment and discrimination, divorce, domestic violence, addictions, systemic oppression of women, including those experiencing PTSD or Sexism-Based Traumatic Stress (SBTS). All identities are welcome!

In addition to being a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), I offer EMDR and I am certified to deliver the Polyvagal-based Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP), https://www.eeminismtherapy.com/ssp/,  a non-invasive technology for nervous system regulation.
