After experiencing a traumatic or stressful event, you may find that you feel different: perhaps you move between feeling overwhelmed by fear, shame, anger, or sadness, to numbing out; maybe your world has gotten smaller as you avoid doing things you used to love; or you may have noticed your thoughts about yourself, the world, and other people start to change such that control, trust, and safety have become difficult themes for you. Additionally, maybe you notice your sleep has worsened, making everything harder. Trauma and stress take a toll on all aspects of your life, but you don't have to battle it alone.
As a board certified clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in traumatic stress, I understand how trauma can change everything you thought you knew about yourself. Through more than 15 years of experience, I've had the honor of working with Clients presenting with various traumas and stressors, and I've shared in their joy as they heal.
My Clients have described this process as "hard, but life-saving," often with 12-16 sessions creating substantial change. Your life can change if you're willing to take the next step. You are in control. Please place a schedule request here directly, or email or call me with questions or for a brief consultation. I'm excited to help you feel better.
