Trauma is a highly complex and personal experience. Everyone's experience and definition of trauma is different. Among both professionals and clients, it is often incredibly misunderstood. It affects us across physical, social, emotional, and spiritual bounds. It compromises our ability to process sensory input and renders us incapable of communicating at times. Traumatic experiences can make us feel "small" and incompetent, incapable of managing basic tasks at times, or we may even develop intermittent or chronic pain.

Sometimes we may need to face our past to reach our best selves. I believe that everyone has the ability to change, adapt, and grow with and through the challenges of life.

In our shared space you will be treated with warmth and compassion, and together we will work to face any challenges that may be hindering your growth today so that you can achieve your PEAK Life.
