Accepting NEW Clients! Do you struggle with unexplainable body aches, pains, insomnia, weight gain, anxiety, depression, relational issues, or familial conflicts? If any of these describes you, your body may be reacting and holding on to trauma. Trauma can be acute, chronic or complex and often are developed during our childhood years and many times is unconsciously passed down from our parents. I work with clients to battle their body from both a physical and mental standpoint in regards to their trauma. I specialize in healing trauma by getting to the root cause.

Unbecoming and becoming. In my strong opinion this is what therapy is about. For many people it is difficult to get through childhood unscathed. Unfortunately, traumatic experiences are a part of life. Through these wounds, we create masks and walls within us, and acquire unhealthy and unhelpful coping skills, keeping us chained to our past. Our childhood experiences, whether we remember them or not, are interwoven into the fabric of our being and how we live our lives and do relationships. Every person needs and deserves to be seen, heard, understood, and gotten, which leads to love, acceptance, and connection.
