Has a horrible event happened to you? Or maybe don't even remember, but your body doesn't feel the same? Do you feel at times like you are floating through life? Then it may be time to seek professional help. Trauma for children or even adults is devastating and impacts many different areas of our lives, such as relationships, jobs, work, and family. I specialize in working with young adults who have encountered childhood trauma, sexual trauma and/or situational trauma. Or do you and your partner seem to struggle to communicate at times, feel criticized ,feel iced out and struggling to understand each other ?

Trauma ranges anywhere from harassment to rape and can continue to impact us years later. It can show up as depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders and self-harm. I also work with couples using Dr. John Gottman's Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. I guide couples through strategies to enhance their communication and foster emotional connection.
I use talk therapy, EMDR and mindfulness/grounding practices to begin to regulate client's bodies into feeling safe again. I know what it's like to not trust your gut instincts anymore and how unsafe the world feels after a trauma. I can help, metoo.
