I have worked with children, teens, and adult survivors of trauma, with a focus on processing childhood abuse and domestic violence.
Have overwhelming experiences left you feeling scared, flooded with emotions, or disconnected? Trauma, whether from abuse, violence, injustice, or a sense of powerlessness, can greatly impact how you see yourself and the world. You might experience anger, sadness, shame, fear, or numbness that feels confusing, isolating, and uncontrollable. If you're ready to start processing these experiences, find clarity, and move towards a life where you feel safe, understood, in control, and connected with yourself, I can help.
