Overcome Adversity. Reclaim Strength.

What makes this different

The Integrative Trauma Recovery Model™ is a framework I developed specifically for adults healing from childhood, relational, and complex trauma. Trauma affects the body, mind, relationships, and the inner organization of self.

This model does not separate EMDR, IFS-informed parts work, somatic approaches, and boundary work into fixed stages. They are interwoven: parts work focuses on inner fragmentation, patterns, and overwhelming emotions; EMDR supports inner resourcing and helps process traumatic material, including what wounded parts are carrying; somatic work supports regulation and reconnection with your body throughout the process; and boundary work builds the felt sense of where you end and someone else begins.

I work with the whole person — your strengths, adaptations, lived experience, and the systems that have shaped you — because you are not a diagnosis. You are a human being with dignity and capacity. Some clients have shared that after years of talk therapy, this was the first space where they did not feel judged or pathologized. This space allowed them to heal truly from childhood abuse and complex trauma.

Recovery unfolds in overlapping phases, not rigid steps. Early work focuses on safety, stabilization, and building capacity to support your system to be with an emotion and to reconnect with your body. From there, trauma can be processed at a pace your system can sustain. Integration is ongoing, including shifts in identity, boundaries, and relationships throughout the process, rather than only at the end.

Anti-oppressive practice is woven throughout, because for many people, systemic harm, discrimination, and intergenerational trauma shape their lives. Systemic trauma is real, and trauma recovery needs to account for this. The goal is not simply symptom reduction, but integration of your body, mind, nervous system, inner parts, and sense of self.
