Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life changes can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of how to move forward. Many of the teens and adults I work with carry the lasting impact of childhood trauma, difficult relationships, or chronic stress, often finding themselves repeating patterns that no longer serve them. Therapy can be a space to better understand yourself, process painful experiences, and begin building a greater sense of emotional safety, stability, and self-trust.

Have you experienced difficult events, some beyond your control? Maybe you struggle adjusting to "new norms" in your life, endure panic attacks, or have to force yourself to face each day. At some point, most of us are affected by traumatic events. Complex grief; abuse; military combat; abandonment; assault; chronic pain; and divorce are just a few examples. These experiences can leave us depressed, anxious, fearful or battling post-traumatic stress. They can leave us exhausted without the strength or resources to manage them.

Anxiety, depression, panic disorders, and unhealthy relationships can often be traced back to unresolved trauma, particularly if it took place over a long period of time or targeted your own self-worth. Your story doesn't have to end there; I can help. I've been a member of veteran and first responder communities for over 20 years and I specialize in working with those populations, including those struggling with chronic illnesses and rehabilitative medicine. Prior to counseling, I also served for fifteen years as an educator and developed a passion for helping adolescents and young adults to navigate their pathways to adulthood.
