Have you experienced a traumatic event or loss in your past? Some days you may feel as if you have moved on, but the feelings associated with the trauma return when you least expect them. Or perhaps you have been coping with feelings of anxiety or depression and you are wondering if you will ever feel "normal" again. Often people ask me "shouldn't I be over this by now?" It is very common to revisit feelings we had in the past, particularly during periods of transition or difficulty in our lives. But it can certainly make us feel as though we are stuck or even moving backwards in our journey.
I work with clients to uncover their resilience and help them process those difficult feelings. Though trauma we experience becomes part of our story, it does not have to define our lives. My approach is client-centered, meaning I will listen to your needs and together we will develop an evidence-based treatment plan that fits with those needs.
I know that reaching out for help can be difficult. My goal is to help you feel at ease in therapy. Together we will move towards healing so you can once again enjoy life fully.
