Trauma impacts many facets of our lives. It alters our view of self, personality and identity, ability to relate to others, and ability to navigate the world. Trauma incorporates many events, big and small, including emotional neglect, abusive relationships, sudden loss, witnessing tragic events, and illness. In response, you become anxious, stressed, and depressed and experience intrusive thoughts, fear, and anger. Often, you may feel alone or trapped and are easily triggered. It feels like you cannot be yourself.

Are you struggling with painful thoughts and emotions or trying to sort out a difficult personal issue? I understand that life can feel like a roller-coaster of emotions sometimes as we try to navigate through life changes, relationship issues and personal challenges. I offer a person-centered, non-judgmental and empathetic treatment approach. I believe that every person is unique and the best approach is not cookie-cutter, but rather an individually tailored treatment plan.

Life can be full of unprecedented changes and challenges that can leave us feeling defeated and unbalanced. However, in the darkest moments, there is always room for hope, and our obstacles can become opportunities for personal growth and success. I believe that individuals are not defined by their circumstances, problems, or mistakes but by making conscious choices to respond to their challenges in healthy ways that promote healing. I hold a holistic view of the wellness of the individual using an integrative approach to help clients find harmony among the different competing aspects of their life and function at their best.

Do you procrastinate and have difficulties focusing? Have you experienced losses or failures that have impacted your confidence and sense of self. If you are interested in self-exploration, coping better, managing anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, ADHD or depression, we can help.
