If you have had painful past experiences, you may feel stuck or as if you aren't really living your life. That painful past may suddenly rear its head in the present or create a feeling that it has never really let you go. You may be experiencing panic, racing heartrate, or be feeling trapped, or you could suddenly find yourself back in those painful past events. The world that you once knew may no longer make sense to you or you may have not ever really feel safe or cared for. Relationships can feel fragile, risky, or perilous.

As we work together, you will gain the ability to manage and regulate your emotions. You will learn what is happening in your body and find ways to experience calm and control. You will begin to develop an understanding of yourself and your world that makes sense. Re-experiencing your painful past will occur less frequently until it stops entirely.

Where you once felt on alert and in constant danger, you will start to feel calm and in control. Confusion will be replaced with understanding. Tension and stress will give way to peace and relaxation. If this sounds like something you are interested in, you can schedule a free consultation with me today.

In therapy, I help you understand what you are experiencing, provide techniques that you learn in session and can use at home, and create an environment that helps reduce hurt and foster growth. Therapy works best when we develop a strong, safe, caring, honest relationship. You should feel understood, supported, and challenged, and you should be able to see progress.
