It can be difficult to make sense of the things that happen to us in our lives, especially if you have had to learn to thrive in chaos. Slowing down can feel dangerous, relaxing feels risky, and relationships feel like battlegrounds. Unfortunately, we sometimes get stuck using old skills that helped us survive when we’re no longer under threat. Getting stuck in the loop of survival, tension, anticipation and fear is exhausting for everyone involved. It leaves you feeling numb, angry or constantly anxious even when there doesn’t seem to be any danger around. If you feel ready to step away from this cycle, I may be able to help.

My goal is to help people understand their survival strategies so they can move forward with their lives instead of staying stuck in fear and pain. This can look like developing skills to improve your daily life, rebuilding your connection with loved ones, learning new ways to navigate safe conflict in relationships or taking steps to move forward in life.

Deciding to address trauma can be a frightening experience, it might feel unsafe, it might feel risky to let go of what’s kept you safe for so long. If you’re tired of fear, the anticipation, and the pain it may be time to reach out. To quote Dr. Peter Levine, “Trauma is a fact of life. However, it does not have to be a life sentence."

I work with clients working through trauma, navigating personality disorder challenges and improving their skills in relationships. During our sessions we focus on cultivating self-compassion, understanding and resilience through addressing chronic invalidation, abandonment and low self-esteem challenges. Most of my clients work on improving authenticity and decreasing self-criticism.
