I have a passion for treating those that have experienced trauma. I have learned to heal my own experience

Are you frustrated with how much worry gets in the way of your life? And how hard it is to make decisions? Do you find yourself feeling lonely sometimes too, feeling like nobody gets you…no one else sees how anxious and frustrated you get, and it seems like no one would be able to relate either. They probably wouldn’t believe you if you told them you felt empty inside anyways, since most people think you have it all together. On one hand even you think everything should be fine, but on the other hand something just doesn’t feel right inside.
