(As a couple or individual) - Experiencing a traumatic event, anxiety/ past pain can send you into a panic, tearful, angry, shut down. Feeling disconnected from yourself or from your partner. Stress feels so intense that sometimes it moves you to withdrawal. Or it rises into agitation: why doesn't my partner see my pain? Why did this/does this conflict/"bad thing" happen? What if it happens again? Feeling distrustful that anyone will be there for you either because you have been let down by someone before (maybe your partner) or have experienced something painful/traumatic & fear it will happen again. Feeling lonely and ignored.
You’re looking for an emotional connection to your partner, heal after pain you endured together, to feel loved. Or individually you would like to move past the painful event(s)/trauma you have endured, learn to love yourself & remove the fear that weighs you down, to feel free from anxiety. Either in couples therapy or individual therapy, I can help.
I view my role as a therapist as being part of a team with you for success. I believe we all have the power within ourselves for change; I just have the privilege to help ignite that power to bring change with you, together. For more info on my work with disconnected couples & trauma, check out my website. Lets bring change to your world / your relationship
