I’m Ocean
Who do I help?
I’m here to help adults and couples work through really difficult and complex trauma and PTSD. I’m here to help you work through your relational trauma so you feel more connected to yourself. I specialize in helping those living with dissociation integrate their parts or selves into a more cohesive understanding of themselves. If you have a hard time connecting with yourself, I can help you discover why.
How do I help?
I am a trauma-informed therapist. I use attachment, body, and brain-based approaches (like EMDR) to help you understand the impact of complex trauma on your identity, relationships, and sense of self. I focus on creating a safe therapeutic environment first and foremost. When we feel safe, we can explore our deeper feelings more readily. I’m here to help you feel safe.
