Seriously, there is nothing wrong with you! What you perceive as overreaction and self-destruction is your psyche trying to tell you something; they are misguided attempts to protect you from more pain. You have within you what you need to heal. My work is focused on helping people with trauma including CPTSD, disassociation and people with transgender identities. If you are working on understanding yourself and your identity, working through childhood trauma, or searching for relief from anxiety and depression, let's take this journey together!
As a licensed counselor in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio, my more than 20 years of experience have helped me cultivate a strategy of tailoring counseling to find what works for you! I use many strategies to address the roots of what causes problems in your life. Together we can find safe spaces for you to stop fighting and start finding yourself!
Therapy can be scary and challenging, but you can do it! Researchers have found that your brain is wired primarily for protection; you can learn to trust your brain to keep you safe while you do this work. You can heal without talking about the darkest parts of your life! We can do it together!
