Life happens, as they say & as we all know, sometimes life can be completely overwhelming. It can strain our ability to cope, recover & find meaning in hardship, particularly when our experiences are traumatic. Whether it's one event or experiences that began early & often, it can be even more overwhelming when it feels like we don't have reliable support from others who are able & willing to walk alongside us as we try & make sense of everything. When this happens, these experiences follow & shape us for weeks & even years making it so hard to move forward meaningfully, let alone to heal & grow - something we long for most.
As a passionate clinical psychologist specializing in trauma & post-traumatic growth, this challenge of recovery is where I can help. I've dedicated years in ongoing education, training & clinical practice honing the insight & skills necessary to be a stabilizing force in the storm as we chart a path towards calm, clear waters as a team.
It's so hard taking that first step toward healing & growth. It can be even harder to stick around when it feels nearly impossible to trust others with your most emotionally charged, vulnerable experiences. I've had the privilege of earning that trust time & again with so many incredible people & it would be a joy to earn yours as we move forward together.
