Betrayal trauma can make you feel feel confused, guilty, or powerless. Perhaps you've experienced gaslighting, complex trauma, or infidelity in a relationship. You may have experienced betrayal trauma if your well-being or safety was violated by someone (or an institution) you trust. In childhood, that person is typically a parent or caregiver; in adulthood, your partner. Betrayal trauma can lead to PTSD, anxiety, and depression among other things - but therapy can help.

When you sit down for an individual or couples therapy session, you can expect me to bring a special type of energy to therapy. I believe that my clients have the ability to create beautiful, long lasting change in order to facilitate more meaningful, loving relationships. I pay close attention to patterns and look to understand a person’s full story before examining the “issue” that’s bringing the client or clients in. I listen to understand and use a nonjudgmental, collaborative approach so that together we can explore, discuss, challenge thoughts and feelings, and create goals.

You may be spending a lot of time feeling bad or worrying about where you are at in your life. Telling yourself stories of why you’re not enough or comparing yourself to everyone else around you? You may have convinced yourself you cannot have what you want or don't feel good enough to get to where you want to be in your life. You may not even know where you learned to talk to yourself this way. When did this start? Have you become your last priority? Continuing to worry may be stopping you from doing the things you want the most or keeping you from having the close meaningful friendships or relationships you truly want.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand yourself and your unique story. Obstacles to self-awareness can continue unhelpful patterns, leading you to feel stuck, joyless, and disconnected from yourself and others. Sometimes what we need most is a non-judgmental, validating space to courageously share our stories, hopes, and fears out loud. This space can be a powerful catalyst for change and a path to your most authentic self.

I believe therapy is oriented at finding out something about you with you. Many of the struggles we experience are caused by responding to new life circumstances using past life experiences. During therapy we move with curiosity, exploring perspectives. We experiment giving ourself permission to feel deeper in an effort to bring focus to the present while honoring our past for brining us to this moment. Through this work, clients can challenge this "stuck” feeling and move toward leading fulfilling lives.

At Health in Tandem, our motto is "where mind and body meet." We passionately believe that we cannot manage mental health without incorporating physical wellness, and that in order to improve physical performance, we must incorporate mental skills training. You are not a one-size-fits-all, so the approach our therapists take with you shouldn't be either. We take a step back and look at your life as a whole - what are all of the components that make you, you? What are the factors in your life that have been out of whack, maybe for awhile? How can we treat the whole of who you are, rather than the symptoms you list off?

Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming. You probably sense that it’s finally time to reach out for help, but feel unsure of where to begin. Perhaps you feel uncertain if there is anyone out there who can understand, let alone help. I believe that the strength of the therapeutic relationship directly impacts an individual’s capacity for change. So my first priority is to cultivate a safe, open, and compassionate relationship with each of my clients. My style of therapy is supportive, lively, and direct. My goal is to help you learn to trust yourself and feel less weighed down by self doubt.

As a woman stepping into a new phase of life, you find yourself afraid to face the unknown. Instead of feeling excitement about what's to come, you're confronted by insecurities--that deep down you might be a fraud, that you don’t measure up, that you’re never going to be “good enough”. These thoughts seep into your career, your education, your relationships. You feel isolated and hopeless, uncertain of what to do next. That voice of doubt inside of you won't shut up and it's holding you back from finding your purpose. I’m here to tell you that just because that voice is LOUD, does not mean that what it’s telling you is TRUE.

It’s difficult to predict how you’ll feel from one moment to the next. A second ago, you were keyed up; every muscle in your body tense and on high alert, ready for danger to strike. Now, you’re completely checked out, numb to the world, sleepwalking through the day. You know this isn’t a sustainable way to live, but you’re not sure how else to cope with the painful wounds of your past. It’s as though you can no longer trust yourself to differentiate between safe and threatening situations, so you avoid everything. You’re struggling at work and growing more distant from your loved ones each day. Something needs to change, and soon.
