You were raised in an unpredictable family often filled with dysfunction. You were handed responsibility at an early age due to familial circumstances, and you have built your identity on being the "strong one" in your relationships. You struggle with expressing your needs, emotions, and boundaries with others. You worry that, if left unchecked, one day you will continue to repeat the patterns of generational trauma expressed by others in your family. If you resonate with the above statements, I think it is incredibly brave of you to consider seeking help. It is never too late to rewrite the story you wish to tell with your life.
As a licensed counselor, I specialize in working with trauma, faith concerns (ie, deconstruction), chronic health conditions and life transitions. This may look like processing painful experiences, identifying harmful thought patterns, learning how to cope with overwhelming emotions, and reevaluating the life you truly want to live- without judgement.
I consider it the greatest privilege to be trusted with your story. If you’re looking to develop greater awareness/insight, foster hope, become unstuck from hurtful patterns, or simply receive support during a difficult season- I look forward to working with you.
