Many people struggle with feeling lost and directionless or anxious about their ability to cope with life on life’s terms. For some people, these feelings can linger and become the painful lens through which you see yourself and the world. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With care and support, you can become more confident and loving toward yourself. You might even wake up one day and realize that instead of needing to read the instructional manual for life, you are ready to write your own. However, you might need some rough drafts and edits first. That is where therapy comes in.
Often, painful thoughts and feelings come from real experiences in our past where we felt unprepared and overwhelmed, alone and unsafe. We can become afraid to share our story, but when we can share it with others and feel their understanding and care for us, we begin to see how much more there can be than those painful chapters.
I work with individuals of all ages who are struggling with the impact of painful past experiences, such as trauma, complex trauma, and systemic oppression. I also have experience working with related difficulties, such as chemical and process addictions as well as eating disorders, and in marginalized populations, particularly LGBTQIA+ individuals.
