Being human is messy and hard, and all too often, you can feel alone in facing your suffering. You feel isolated, cut off, like nobody else gets what you're going through–whether that be grief, depression, systemic oppression, trauma, or any other human affliction. While the original experiences were hard, your sense of aloneness makes them worse; they stick with you and shape the way you interact with the world, like tightly-wound knots that never get a chance to loosen.

There may be a time in your life where you may feel like you are constantly hitting a wall and the struggle within yourself or in your relationships may feel so overwhelming that it is taking the joy and hope out of your life. You may pretend that it’s just a phase and it will pass; however, as time goes on, it doesn’t go away, if anything, the emotions and thoughts continue to build and build. You are doing the best that you can and there is room for change and growth still. Together, we can hopefully find the balance between the parts of life where we have to accept and the areas where we can change to feel less stuck.

Do you have trouble with anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues due to trauma? Past experiences can create imprints onto your brain that activate your fight/flight responses whenever your emotions feel dysregulated, but life without the constant feeling of being on edge is possible. Those traumatic memories don’t have to permanently influence who you are meant to be. Through therapy, you will gain control of your feelings/thoughts and your response to everyday life hurdles. Healing from trauma can create healthier beliefs about yourself and your relationships along with sustainable changes.

With all the therapists out there, choosing one can be overwhelming. Knowing how I conduct therapy and what values and beliefs fuel each session is essential.
