Do you wonder why you make plans, have goals but often don't follow through? Or you stay in bed most of the day and feel unproductive? Maybe you feel unmotivated and neglect social events? Sometimes you feel anxious and start to panic at the thought of leaving the house or going to an event with a lot of people. Do you find yourself avoiding your friends calls or cutting off those who are important to you? Do you feel like you just can't move forward and think about your past too much? Do you want to live again? I'm glad you're finally taking that step to talk to someone about it. It is the most selfless thing you can do.
I have 9 years experience working with those who deal with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, PTSD, Adjustment Disorders, grief, loss, relationship issues, and trauma. Depending on your symptoms and functional impairments, we will develop a treatment plan together tailored to your specific needs and goals.
I understand by experience and from working with families and children of trauma, how difficult it can be to function in life, meet your goals, or do the simplest tasks, due to mental health symptoms often brought on by unhealed trauma. Let me help you minimize symptoms, meet your goals and live again.
