Trauma, abuse, & grief can greatly impact how we function on a day to day basis. Everyone's experiences are unique & individual. There may be times where you cannot explain why this or that happened and that can feel both confusing and frustrating. Has something like this ever happened to you before? Through counseling, we can explore different modalities & evidenced based research to locate the roots of this confusion and frustration.
I am here to be a part of your therapeutic journey as you locate the answers to these difficult questions. I believe that you are the expert on your life & your experiences. I am here to walk alongside you. I have a direct and goal oriented approach to working through past trauma, current grief, & issues around life transitions.
I can be reached by email to set up a free phone consultation to ensure we are a good fit for what you're looking for to start therapy.
