Hi, and welcome to therapy. People come to therapy to improve their lives from many different and difficult experiences. Trauma can affect people in many different ways.

Therapy and training give you back the inner peace you need. My approach is humbly understanding what you are going through.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or other painful feelings? Do you experience difficulties with intense emotions sometimes? Most people do. When that happens, it can feel like your emotions are unmanageable- as if you are caught up in flood waters and you have no control over your environment, swept along wherever your emotions take you. Maybe a trauma in your past or a personality disorder can make these emotions even more challenging. Fortunately, therapy can help resolve these emotional strangleholds, and you can acquire peace of mind and mental wellbeing.
