Approach

Focus on trauma and disability shapes how sessions unfold: I prioritize cue-awareness and gentle pacing to keep the nervous system regulated while we explore memories and daily challenges. I offer English-language sessions in Santa Rosa and by secure telehealth, tailoring homework and check-ins so gains carry into real life. Sessions are collaborative and experiential—tracking sensations, testing small exposures, and integrating new coping so memories feel less disruptive. People juggling chronic illness, disability, or persistent trauma often find this steady, practical rhythm grounding.
