Trauma leaves us feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected from our true selves. You may feel like no one understands you; isolated from friends and family because they aren’t experiencing the same thing, or cut off from your faith because this feels so hard. You might not even remember a time when you didn’t feel this way, but you are absolutely certain it’s time for a change. You’re ready to step out of the shadow of feeling anxious and overwhelmed and back into the light, out from under the weight of your anxiety and depression. Most of all, you’re ready to find a renewed sense of purpose and meaning in your life.
Clients come to me looking for a therapist who understands where complex grief and trauma intersect, because therapy should be a place where you feel understood, heard, and validated. My approach to sessions is to lead with empathy, and help you alleviate your symptoms. We'll always go at your pace, never pushing to a place you don't feel ready to be.
I have over 20 years experience in a variety of settings and specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and Christian counseling. You don’t have to continue to feel anxious and overwhelmed, and you don’t have to go it alone. Reach out to me today for a complimentary consult, and let’s get started on the road to healing, together.
