Who I Help…

Do you feel like your past experiences are preventing you from living the life you desire? Maybe you feel afraid, ashamed, overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. You might relive past experiences in your dreams or see old hurtful patterns play out in your current relationships, or maybe you just feel numb to it all. Sometimes it might be hard to put your guard down, even when you want to. Do you feel like no one truly sees, hears, or understands you? I can help you with what it is you are hurting from. I work with adults who have experienced traumatic life events, adversity, or who have been the victims of crime. Many people experience traumatic life events. You are not alone. Healing and recovery is possible. I can help.

Folks who work with me don’t often come in because they think they have been traumatized. When most people think of trauma they think of war or a major natural disaster. But trauma is different everyone. A better way of describing trauma could be any experience that was too much, too fast, and too soon without proper support after or enough time to process what just happened.

People that I work with come to me for a variety of concerns such as:

• Stressful Childhoods including abuse or neglect

• Unhealthy Relationships

• Domestic Violence

• Sexual Assault or unwanted sexual experiences

• Family Problems

• Discrimination and oppression

• Self-esteem

• Workplace trauma

• Grief and Loss

• And More…

Navigating life’s difficulties is hard. You deserve to have a safe place and relationship to help make sense of it all, and to move forward from a place of lightness and healing.

I can help you heal from the pain of past experiences and trauma. As a trauma specialist I understand how complex trauma can be, and how these experiences can impact who you are as a person, your relationships, and how you feel in the world. To help you I am able to select from a variety of approaches and tools, based off of your individual needs. I use evidence backed treatments to help you recover from traumatic life events and circumstances, and find your unique path to healing. I believe in a holistic approach. I incorporate somatic, cognitive, and experiential techniques to help soothe your distress, and find the root causes of your suffering.
