I specialize in trauma informed care with teens and adults who are navigating painful and challenging life transitions. These challenges may have left you with questions such as why do I act/feel this way? Or the opposite: why am I not having an emotional response to this? Maybe a sense of disconnect from your body? Sometimes you are able to identify the root cause of those actions and feelings that caused a significant transition in our lives. Other times, you do not understand the behaviors and emotions that lead to disruptions within yourself and relationships. Sometimes leaving you feeling numb or disconnected from your body.

In these challenging times, I believe the exploration of our experience of being and the understanding of our longing for meaningful connections with others can be a driving force toward change. In our work in therapy we will deepen the understanding of yourself, discover what you want and need from others, and how to solve issues of the past that are still alive today. We will explore how old patterns get in the way, and work toward a personal narrative that is based in self-compassion, acceptance, and human connection.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, unsettled, or stuck? Perhaps you find yourself constantly questioning if you're doing enough or if you should be further along in life. It's easy to fall into a pattern of obsessing and dwelling over these thoughts, especially when it seems everyone else is experiencing the milestones that you've been longing for. You might wonder, "When will it be my turn?" or question, "Am I doing this right?" Perhaps you're searching for a way to feel 'normal' again, not controlled by anxiety.

Have you experienced the loss of a person, a pregnancy, a relationship or dream? Grief effects the mind, the body and the spirit. It can feel overwhelming and without end. Family and friends mean well but often want you to "move on". Sometimes it is easier to just be quiet but it can be a lonely, anxious place to be.
