“Trauma compromises our ability to engage with others by replacing patterns of connection with patterns of protection.”

About my practice
I’m Dinao, and I bring over a decade of clinical experience focused on trauma recovery with children, youth, adults, and families.
My work integrates creative, body-centered approaches with a strong understanding of the neurobiological impacts of trauma and attachment wounding. I work with people navigating a wide range of experiences—particularly those who feel their habitual ways of coping are now getting in the way of connection with themselves, others, and the world.
In our work together, we will gently explore the wisdom held in your body, mind, and long-standing patterns. I’ll support you in discovering what your unique system needs to feel more grounded and resourced, while making space for more moments of peace, freedom, connection, energy, play and creativity.
My practice is grounded in harm reduction, anti-oppression, intuitive creativity and a committed meditation practice.
