If you are feeling stuck due to a traumatic past that you are struggling to deal with and you need an empathetic, knowledgeable, experienced professional to help you navigate through the broken and dysregulated pieces then email me today. Trauma can show up in so many different ways from depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, dysfunctional relationships, and so much more. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional 2 it is my goal to not only assist you in the process of healing but to help you establish coping skills to manage distress and maintain appropriate self-care so that you can obtain peace and emotional well being.
I offer multiple modalities ranging from inner child work, trauma focused CBT, EMDR, solution focused, mindfulness, positive psychology, Somatic Yoga & Restorative Yoga, bilateral stimulation and other evidence based modalities to help clients process their trauma that presents as anxiety, depression, stress and self-sabotaging behaviors.
Asking for help is a big step and with the proper support and guidance you can be happy and enjoy life regardless of the painful life experiences that you have encountered. It takes work and courage but you are more than able to overcome this pain.
