Specialized certifications that shape my therapeutic approach
My work is grounded in both formal education and advanced, experiential training in trauma-focused and body-based modalities. Each certification reflects a commitment to helping clients embrace and integrate fragmented aspects of their being, enter the space of compassion, and restore a sense of joy.
Compassionate Inquiry® with Dr. Gabor Maté
330-hour, year-long professional training in Compassionate Inquiry®, a psychotherapeutic approach that gently reveals the unconscious beliefs, body memories, and emotions formed in childhood.
This method brings hidden patterns into awareness so they no longer run your life, creating space for clarity, freedom, and authentic choice.
Certified Sexual Trauma Therapist — Modern Sex Therapy Institutes
Specialized training in supporting survivors of sexual trauma and abuse with a focus on sensitivity, pacing, and body-centered healing.
This certification deepened my ability to help clients reclaim pleasure, rebuild trust, and safely reconnect with their bodies through somatic modalities transforming trauma into empowerment and self-connection.
EMDR & Somatic Therapy Training
Trained and certified in combining EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) with somatic (body-based) techniques to address both the emotional and physiological effects of trauma.
This integrated approach helps clients:
- Process difficult memories safely
- Reconnect with their body
- Restore a sense of safety, balance, and resilience
