If you have survived an abusive or neglectful childhood, a relationship with a narcissistic abuser, or lived with fear or shame, you are now ready for change. These words can be hard to read, but even harder to face alone. Trauma can leave deep marks, but it doesn't define your future. As a therapist specializing in trauma recovery, I can help you process the pain, break free from its hold, and create a life filled with purpose and joy. Together, we'll work to overcome challenges, achieve your goals, and reclaim your power. You deserve a life you love – let's make it happen. I cannot promise change overnight, but you can get there!
My counseling style is casual, compassionate, warm, and I work with each client to create a customized plan for healing. Mindfulness will calm your mind and body, and CBT will remove the dark thoughts and self-doubt. We will "train your brain" to think toward the future and see your potential. I am blunt, but kind, and always motivating.
I greet each new client with dignity, respect, and understanding. I know the anxiety that comes with sending that message and asking for help. Reach out for a consultation and I will help you every step of the way. My clients come to therapy because they are hurting, so I make sure that the process is seamless. You are ready to feel better and I can help.
