How I Have Trained to Support You
Learning has always been self-driven for me — from an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts degree I designed myself to the hundreds of hours of training I have pursued over the past decade. Not to collect credentials or fulfill requirements, but because I am genuinely passionate about this work and because understanding it more deeply has been part of my own healing and growth as much as my professional development.
What I have built is a fully integrated, embodied understanding — one I have lived personally and applied professionally across hundreds of client relationships. I know this material not just intellectually but in my bones.
What you will find here is specialized in ways that go beyond general clinical training — built intentionally over a decade at the intersection of somatic trauma work, perinatal and child loss, grief, attachment, and relational healing.
My formal training continues through an ongoing advanced learning relationship with The Embody Lab, where I regularly complete continuing education at the intersection of somatic therapy, trauma, and relational healing.
