I have found most of those seeking therapy suffer from a wounded Spirit: Seriously. Alone we are all powerless over "sustained" long term positive changes. Short term changes don't work for long. No one will change, NO ONE, unless they have three things. I. guidance: from someone experiences in change themselves. 2. Reading. 3. Adventure: which means taking healthy risks to try specific behaviors differently. I have been in this work for a long time and have suffered through my own changes even longer. Look up "Wounded Healer." Then see what comes up in you? Call if you understand that freedom is not free, it's gained by working.

Trauma lives in all of us. We all carry our histories. Trauma is in our lived experiences, it is not about the traumatic event, rather about how it impacts us. Our perception of self, the aftermath on our nervous system & how it disconnects us from ourselves and others. Our brains have natural healing mechanisms. We can neurologically rewire & relearn; creating new, less destructive circuitry within the brain. I believe healing is possible for anyone. Don't let your struggle become your identity. Become empowered to overcome life's toughest challenges! Build the life you want to live!
