At the end of the day, we all long to feel accepted and loved for who we truly are.
I’m Carmen, and I love meeting people in a heart-to-heart space.
Whether you're navigating specific challenges or seeking a deeper connection with yourself and others, I’m here to co-create a space where you can, hopefully, feel safe enough to bring curiosity to all parts of yourself.
This journey may not always feel easy, and I won’t promise that you’ll love every step - but I deeply believe there is nothing more grounding and transformative than reconnecting with the parts of ourselves we’ve distanced from or learned to reject (yes, we all have those).
I don’t believe in shortcuts or quick fixes, and I can’t make the hard stuff disappear. What I do believe in is the power of being together as we move through life’s ebbs and flows. What I can do is be with you on this journey - to stay curious about your experience and explore, together, what might be getting in the way of your connection with your innate wisdom, authenticity, and natural movement toward connection, joy, and aliveness.
If you’d like to explore whether we might be a good fit, don’t hesitate to reach out or schedule a free discovery call.
At the foundation of my practice lies the NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM) - an advanced clinical approach specifically developed to address the impacts of attachment, relational, developmental, and complex trauma (C-PTSD). These forms of trauma often arise from prolonged exposure to adverse childhood experiences, chronic neglect, misattunement, and emotional or physical abuse. They may also have roots in pre- and perinatal experiences, as well as systemic, cultural, and intergenerational dynamics.
To complement NARM, I also integrate Somatic Experiencing® into my work. This body-oriented approach is particularly effective in addressing single-incident traumatic experiences with a clear beginning and end - such as car accidents, falls, assaults, medical procedures, and more.
Explore below to learn more about the unique elements of each approach and how they can support emotional well-being and post-traumatic growth.
