NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM)

The primary model I draw from in my individual therapy work is a comprehensive, trauma informed model known as NARM. NARM is one of very few models designed to specifically address Complex PTSD and Developmental Trauma, and is focused heavily on bringing curiosity, agency and consent to the therapeutic space. NARM is a relatively new, innovative model that draws from a long history of psychological lineages. You can learn more about the NARM here: https://narmtraining.com/what-is-narm/

Using techniques from NARM I work to connect the people I support to themselves, their true somatic and emotional experience, and their innermost hearts.

I am currently enrolled in a year long level 2 training. In general, I see the world through a lense of CPTSD. Not to diangose folks but rather empower.

NARM Master Therapist

I am in the process of completing the Level 2 NARM training and will receive the official certification after completing supervision in 1 year.

I am a Certified NeuroAffective Relational Model(tm) Therapist. I have completed training through level 2 and am a member of the Inner Circle. NARM is a cutting-edge model for working with attachment, relational and developmental trauma, by helping people start to connect with what they really want and see more clearly relational patterns that can cause life-long struggle if not addressed.

NARM is a model for treating attachment, relational, and developmental trauma by working with the attachment patterns that cause psychobiological symptoms and interpersonal difficulties. I routinely attend consultations and professional development opportunities to continue to deepen my understanding and practice of NARM. I also serve as a member of the NARM training team for practitioners and community member's learning of the NARM model.

The NeuroAffective Relational Model(NARM) is an advanced clinical training for mental health professionals who work with complex trauma. NARM is a cutting-edge model for addressing attachment, relational and developmental trauma, by working with the attachment patterns that cause life-long psychobiological symptoms and interpersonal difficulties (https://narmtraining.com/).

NARM is a cutting-edge model for addressing attachment, relational and developmental trauma, by working with the attachment patterns that cause life-long psychobiological symptoms and interpersonal difficulties. These early, unconscious patterns of disconnection deeply affect our identity, emotions, physiology, behavior and relationships. Learning how to work simultaneously with these diverse elements is a radical shift that has profound clinical implications for healing complex trauma.

I am a certified NARM Master Therapist specializing in working with adverse early life experiences that result in developmental and complex trauma. By working relationally in the moment to find what is getting in the way of our greatest desires, we are able to shift patterns of identity no longer serving us and tap into a greater source of life energy and core states of ease and peace. I'll add that as a therapy client myself, I prefer NARM therapy for working through such patterns.

I offer developmental trauma therapy guided by the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM). This model is a gentle and depth-oriented approach which focuses on the present-moment, how we relate to ourself and how our survival patterns from childhood get in the way of what we want most. NARM encourages curiosity, self-inquiry & intersubjectivity (being human together) to heal developmental trauma, and move in the direction of our aliveness.

Our nervous system is the first to develop in the womb; how we experience the world from conception to birth informs our core sense of safety and inform how we cope. NARM aims to treat attachment, relational and developmental trauma, or “Complex Trauma” (Complex-PTSD or C-PTSD). This developmentally-oriented, neuroscientifically-informed model emerged out of earlier psychotherapeutic orientations including Psychodynamic Psychotherapy approaches.
