Living with trauma that's repeated or lasted for years isn't something you just 'get over.' Especially when it's shaped your entire way of being. I work with individuals who are experiencing PTSD, complex trauma, ADHD, anxiety, or mood disorders, many of whom have been told to "try harder" or "calm down" for most of their lives. You might feel like you're always on edge, or like something bad is about to happen, even when things seem okay. Or maybe your brain feels like it's running in 20 different directions at once, and it's exhausting just trying to keep up.
Therapy with me is centered on your experience and your pace. Together, we explore how your nervous system has been shaped by stress, how you relate to yourself, and how values like safety, freedom, and connection can once again become guiding forces.
I began my career in psychiatric rehabilitation, working closely with individuals experiencing serious and persistent mental illness. That experience taught me how deeply systems, like family, community, and culture, impact our well-being. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for something to shift, reach out. Talking to someone can help.
