Healing Childhood Trauma


Support for overcoming the lasting effects of childhood abuse, neglect, and emotional wounds.

It’s Not Too Late to Heal


Didn’t get the nurturing, protection, connection, support or guidance you needed growing up? It’s not too late. We can help you re-parent those younger parts of yourself to give yourself what you always needed.

Even the most well-meaning parents can sometimes fail to meet our emotional needs for empathy, connection, validation, or acceptance. When our childhood needs were not met, it can inhibit our ability to lead full, satisfying lives in adulthood. Chronic feelings of low self-esteem, self-doubt, and unworthiness can be signals that your childhood needs were not effectively met.

Developmental Needs-Meeting Strategy (DNMS)


Developmental Needs-Meeting Strategy is a strengths-based ego state therapy that helps heal childhood wounds, the resulting emotional pain and unwanted behaviors that effect us in the present. It helps us develop and draw upon our own internal resources for nurturing and support in order to heal. Through the needs-meeting process, new, healthier ways of living and viewing oneself can come into fruition.

I can help you learn to be kinder and more compassionate to yourself.
