What inspired you to specialize in trauma work?
My own healing journey. I got sober 15 years ago, but it wasn’t until I started doing inner child work/parts work and understanding my trauma that real change happened. I realized so many of my struggles (especially as a husband and father) weren’t about willpower or blaming—they were about survival. That lit a fire in me to help others break those same cycles.
How would you describe your approach to working with trauma survivors?
It’s relational, practical, and deeply compassionate. I meet people where they are, without judgment. I help them understand how their nervous system, beliefs, and protective behaviors formed for a reason—and how we can start to shift them. I draw from parts work, inner child healing, and my own lived experience to help people reconnect with who they truly are underneath the pain.
What do you wish more people understood about the healing process?
That it’s not linear—and it doesn’t mean you won’t still get triggered or struggle. Healing is about responding differently, with more awareness and self-compassion. It’s also slower than most people want it to be, but that slowness is where the depth happens.
How do you help clients reconnect with parts of themselves that were lost or hidden due to trauma?
We create space to listen to those parts instead of judging or avoiding them. I help clients meet their inner child, hear the pain, and understand the role of their protectors. When they start to feel safe inside themselves, those lost parts begin to trust and return. That’s when real integration starts to happen.
What can someone do if they feel therapy “isn’t working” or they feel stuck?
It might not be that healing isn’t possible—it might just be that the approach isn’t right for where you are. Sometimes what’s missing is someone who really gets it on a human level. Also, the impact of complex trauma is not understood in many people’s journeys. Find someone who helps you feel seen, not pathologized. And ask yourself: Am I trying to think my way out of a wound that needs to be felt and held?
What’s something you still struggle with, or continue to work on as a human being?
Letting go of control when I feel overwhelmed—especially as a father. I want to lead with love, but my old wiring wants to shut down or get reactive. I’ve come a long way, but I still have to catch myself and reconnect with the part of me that’s scared underneath.
If you could offer just one sentence to someone in the thick of it right now, what would you say?
This won’t break you—it’s showing you where the real work begins, and you’ve got what it takes to face it.
