Welcome to TSTI — a space built on the conviction that healing isn't about becoming someone different. Whether you're a client navigating the weight of past experiences, a clinician deepening your trauma practice, or a school looking for a thoughtful partner — you've found a home here.
Rooted in Safety.
Growing Toward the World.
Every turtle carries something remarkable: a shell that is simultaneously home, armor, and self. It doesn't separate them from the world — it's the very thing that makes it possible to move through the world.
The work is about helping your nervous system build a foundation it can trust — so that, in time, being out in the world feels less like exposure and more like choice.
Learn About My Approach →Establishing trust, developing internal resources, and helping your nervous system learn it is safe enough to feel.
Processing the experiences, beliefs, and relational wounds that shaped how you see yourself, others, and the world.
Integration — taking what has shifted internally and letting it ripple outward into relationships, identity, and daily life.
