Map Your Deepest Goals & Desires
Explore what results you want to create through this work, both the symptoms you want to shift & what you want to experience more of in your life.
Create Inner Space & Embodied Safety
Trauma symptoms impact your inner sense of safety. Learning the language of the body’s felt sense helps you work with your nervous system, not against it.
Speak Up for Your Needs & Boundaries
Feeling overwhelmed, shutdown, or anxious make it easy to people-please & minimize your needs. Voicing your boundaries returns you to your power.
Parts Work with Internal Family Systems
Seeing the inner world as made up of different parts helps you connect with wounded parts who carry extreme beliefs, so they finally feel safe enough to heal.
Brain-Based Healing with Brainspotting
Brainspotting directly accesses the deep brain to create rapid & effective healing. Symptoms shift without needing to understand or even remember the story.
Return to Pleasure & Intimacy in Your Body
Learning how to navigate your inner experience towards calm, relaxation, & even pleasure, rewires your experience & orients you towards the goodness of life.
Anxiety, panic, and shutdown ARE SIGNS THAT YOUR BODY WANTS TO HEAL.
It’s easy to minimize symptoms of trauma or chronic stress. We often tell ourselves that feeling anxious, panicked, or shutdown are part of being high-performers. But ignoring the signs risks damaging the life, work, and relationships we’ve worked so hard to build. Until we get the support we need to heal. I’ve helped high-performers around the world. Reach out you’re curious how my work can help you.
A Brief Introduction…
Hello, I’m Elie.
I help people with trauma have better relationships.
I’m a trauma specialist focused on sexual and relational trauma healing through the intelligence of the body. I’m trained in Internal Family Systems and Brainspotting, two of the most rapid and effective trauma healing modalities out there. If you have PTSD, CPTSD, anxiety, panic disorder, or OCD — or are experiencing extreme or chronic stress — I know I can help.
Things to Expect from Our Work Together
NO. 1
Resolve Numbness & Overwhelm.
Unresolved trauma seesaws the nervous system between feeling “too much” & not feeling at all. Healing creates a new baseline of relaxed, embodied presence.
NO. 2
Stop Intrusive Memories & Flashbacks.
Traumatized nervous system keeps looping back to the past, frozen in the body. Healing resolves PTSD & CPTSD symptoms so you can relax.
NO. 3
Feel Safe Enough to Connect with Others
Anxiety & avoidance are common responses to trauma that devastate relationships. Healing means feeling safe & secure with trusted, safe others.
NO. 4
Experience Aliveness & Pleasure
Trauma lives in the body, not the mind. Working with the body to restore safety creates more feeling too. Enjoying pleasure is post-traumatic growth.
NO. 5
Enjoy Intimacy with Your Partner
It’s easy to minimize or dismiss the importance of sexuality in trauma healing. Reconnecting to the body allows authentic sexual self-expression.
NO. 6
Recover a Sense of Possibility in Life
Trauma takes the color out of life. Healing returns us to our natural state of self-connection, where we honor & act on our values, goals, & dreams.

Trauma Healing Doesn’t Have to be Hard.
Too many of us put off trauma healing because we’re afraid of what we might find, when we look inside — or what we might remember. But what if the hard part was behind us? You don’t need to remember what happened — or share the details with me — to heal.
Frequently Asked Questions

Working with the body is the foundation of my approach to trauma healing. When we create enough safety and slowness to feel our sensations, we tap into the body’s innate healing intelligence. This isn’t just something we need for healing, it’s something we need to life a thriving and authentic life.
