Is addiction, past trauma or frustrating negative cycles draining you or your relationships? Couples and individuals often seek treatment for symptoms that, despite their best efforts, just don't go away such as feeling emotionally numb, angry or have intrusive thoughts/memories from traumatic events or have PTSD. The couples I work with often report feeling stuck, feeling alone and sick of having the same arguments, yet nothing changes. I also treat survivors of narcissistic parents and partners.

As a therapist I support people who feel stuck feeling chronically frustrated and misunderstood; move from feeling unmotivated or bored to overwhelmed in different areas of life.You may feel very alone and no one else has a clue. You may constantly feel worried, think of “what ifs”, or worst case scenarios, and that’s when the spiraling cycle begins. You never feel content, as if you took the wrong train in life. It is almost impossible to explain to people that you are in a constant state of despair so you keep it to yourself because it is safer but also very lonely. I help people to feel a little bit less crazy about their lives.

Somatic Experiencing can help decrease these sensations and help you move through past traumas, injuries and negative core beliefs.

If so, I can help educate and walk you through the process to have a fulfilling and exciting sex life.
