Sometimes unresolved trauma from childhood and/or adulthood can make it hard to say no and set boundaries with others. Sometimes it manifests as insecurity in relationships, high-functioning anxiety, numbness, depression, and general relationship issues. If this sounds familiar, I'm here to help by providing a safe, healing space that nourishes and helps you grow into your most authentic self. If you feel stuck, that's normal. I'm here to meet you where you are and help you find your way.
I specialize in psychodynamic therapy, an attachment-based treatment through a mind-body approach. I help individuals understand how early life experiences and past traumas shape current behaviors and emotions. We safely explore repressed emotions and resolve inner conflicts to create a healthier relationship with oneself and the world.
If you're ready to take a chance and invest in yourself, let's connect! Email or call me to schedule a free, no-obligation, 10-minute phone consultation. (Please note: I am also a board-approved clinical supervisor for therapists working towards LCSW licensure in the state of KY. Please feel free to message me if you are interested clinical supervision.)
