If you want to start working on yourself but fear the road ahead, I encourage you to reach out and walk the path with me. If you are battling addiction, trauma, low self-esteem or self-worth, or if you are just trying to figure out the next path to take, I encourage you to reach out and we can walk the path together.

Many people suffer alone with mental health issues for years before they ask for help. I use Buddhist meditation techniques along with evidence based trauma therapies to help people break through these harmful patterns.

Individual, family, and group therapy options are currently available.

Often in adulthood, we gain awareness of the maladaptive patterns and traumatizing experiences which have impacted us since childhood. The first step in post-traumatic growth is seeing that the patterns no longer benefit us, or recognizing that processing trauma can make life more meaningful. If you're here and seeking a guide for your post-trauma growth journey, connecting with a therapist may be the next step for you. When supported, you can connect to your own vision and self-power to create and accomplish your healing goals. Learn more at www.trailheadtherapist.com.

Together, we can befriend and heal the parts inside you that are stuck in extreme roles and help these parts feel calm and balanced. "I experienced a shift that changed everything. I can't recommend Natalie highly enough."- Client.

When that happens, our own thoughts and feelings can seem to betray us and hold us back with feelings of overwhelm, depression and anxiety. However, our bodies also have the intrinsic ability to heal given the right guidance and interventions.
