For those who've faced trauma or were left alone to grapple with complex emotions prematurely, the skills needed to cope with difficult experiences can feel out of reach. Anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem can feel like an endless spiral as you battle between a you that feels capable and you that is knocked off your feet by overwhelming emotions. While in the past you may have been alone in the face of emotional distress you do not have to be alone now. I aim to create a space where you feel seen and heard as you become more comfortable with your emotions, find healing, and move from surviving to thriving.

Years of deep, heavy, or significant trauma? Feeling broken and unfixable? You are the person I want to work with! This trauma causes intrusive thoughts, memories, flashbacks, a short temper, reckless behavior, or a negative emotional state. We will do real work to understand why your behaviors and thoughts are the way they are, and we will find solutions and answers. I do not believe therapy should last years and my sessions reflect this.

Together, we will figure out the root of what’s going on, discover your innate strengths, find your authentic voice, and develop coping skills so you can reconnect with yourself and those you care about.

Do you sometimes feel things are overwhelming or too much has happened, so it’s hard visualizing things getting better? Do you sometimes find yourself turning to unhealthy coping skills to help fill voids which only seems to bring about a temporary release, emptiness or more stress? Some things we can not control which can cause tension in our lives, however, I feel we can learn to better manage how we respond and react to situations. I believe in order for true healing to begin, we must first be willing to be open and honest with ourselves. Within all of us lies hope, strength, the need for connection, and being understood.
