Have you experienced life as chaotic and painful? Do you struggle with day to day coping in the midst of memories, strong feelings, or dissociation? Is it difficult to feel like you can live fully after what you have experienced? Does growth, healing, and freedom feel next to impossible? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be suffering from unresolved trauma. I know firsthand how intense and challenging a process of finding freedom from trauma can be.

Kudos to you for considering counseling and researching your options. Whether you are returning to counseling or just getting started, it can be a daunting task, especially since counselors are not "one size fits all." Taking time to find a counselor that you "click with" can take your session from "okay" to meaningful and fulfilling. Many of my clients report feeling "stuck" in their situations and "tired of pretending to be okay". Some experience dark thoughts that they don't understand or know how to talk about, while others are ready for a change but don't know where to start. I often say, "being human is a messy experience."

Change takes time and hard work, and frequently also requires compassion, perspectives, and ideas from outside our own minds. Therapy is one way to help make the changes you want in your life. Using compassion-focused therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and solution-focused models, I help adolescents and adults practice ways to move away from self-defeating behaviors into more peace.
