Healing resides within your body/mind/soul and it is your right to understand how to activate your healing system to resolve personal & relationship challenges caused by childhood trauma.
As a survivor of Childhood Trauma, I've been committed to removing the mystery from the self-healing process - both for myself & for my clients - since I first graduated as a therapist in 1997. During my study of how to heal, I developed a proprietary 6 Step System that is based on principles found in Cognitive Behavioral, Embodiment, Mindfulness and Emotion Focused Therapies. Turns out, there's a way to heal trauma triggers - both "Big T triggers" and "little t triggers." Both types of triggers can interfere with your relationships, your sense of happiness and your ability to overcome those pesky habits you don't tell anyone about.

Safety and comfort in the therapeutic relationship are of utmost importance.

I also work with couples looking to cultivate healthy communication skills, a richer relational experience, a revived vibrancy. I commonly work with life transitions, parenting questions, and identity conflicts.

What's wrong with me? I'm a failure. Everyone else has it together; why don't I? I know what I should do, I just can't do it. Why am I so angry, anxious, depressed? Will I ever find a relationship? My family hates my views, and I hate theirs. Menopause, wrinkles, saggy arms - I'm becoming an old woman! Every morning, I promise myself I'll stop drinking, and every day I drink again. I hate myself. Other people think I'm doing fine; what if they knew what a mess I actually am? I dread going to work every day, but I feel trapped. I hate my life. I don't know what to do. Sound familiar? Let's talk about it!

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
