Perceptive, motivated people encounter barriers all the time, but may be uncertain how to get help because to the outside world they seem to be doing just fine. Perhaps you or your child aren't able to achieve up to potential, feel worried about things in life, have trouble focusing or getting things done, or feel tension and conflict in relationships with others. Talented people can lose sight of their many strengths, and need support in figuring out what is keeping them from functioning at their best.

Trauma tears through our lives like a storm causing worry and sadness. You may feel fragmented and alone as you try to understand what has happened and how you'll ever be the same.

Trauma informed therapy utilizes various techniques to support the reconfiguration of thoughts and belief systems. As you walk this path, I will be with you every step of the way. Through the healing nature of the therapeutic relationship, you will begin to regain a sense of belonging and feel whole again.

You’ve been trying to figure out where it all went wrong. “Was it my fault? Was it hers? Does it matter?” You had a loving marriage and a happy family. But things have changed. Those warm memories…the laughs, the hugs…they've been replaced with a disappearing pile of ashes. You want so desperately to turn back the clock, but you know that’s impossible. As you cry yourself to sleep again, all you can think about is the heartbroken look in your children’s eyes. “How will I explain to them what’s going on?” It’s agony to feel this way, and you’re not sure how much longer you can go on like this. You know something needs to change.

Feeling stressed? Depressed? Frequently irritated or even just emotionally overwhelmed? You're not alone. Most people spend their days unconsciously jumping from one thought or emotion to the next. Many wind up getting hijacked by those thoughts and feelings and end up repeating the same self-destructive patterns over and over again. Few find their way clear of this. By working with me and focusing on your psychodynamics, you will come to understand yourself better, recognize your patterns, and identify a path towards true psychological freedom. My therapeutic approach is a collaborative one; I'd be happy to help you find your way.
