Even when it seems like you should be at your best, you are reminded of the worst moments of your life. Your worst memories get replayed. You feel as if you are alone even though there are people around you. You feel suffocated in public. Things you know should not be a problem often feel dangerous or scary anyway. Times of year, smells, sounds, phrases often trigger this in you. These are signs of trauma. Or maybe, in relationships, everything feels like it has to be a fight? Are you and your partner constantly "at each other" for what seems like "no reason"? Even in good relationships, this can be problematic.
Meeting people with openness, kindness, and compassion is a key element to introducing them to strategies that foster healing. We can discuss which approach fits well with you- ACT, EMDR, mindfulness, supportive talk therapy, Gottman therapy for relationship issues, etc. As long as you feel comfortable, something will work.
I have learned that humans are complicated and that not all problems are challenges, but can be opportunities for growth and invitations to a more fulfilling life. This can be true in relationships as well as with self care. Take the first step to feeling better and make an appointment to discuss what is going on and how you wish to change.

I have spent the majority of my career helping people understand and overcome trauma in their lives or problems in their relationships. I have been told by my clients that my use of mindfulness practices along with EMDR, emotional awareness, and effective communication skills often help them reduce stress, anxiety, and improve their overall quality of life.

Choosing a therapy approach is a collaborative effort- In our first couple of visits, we will discuss your needs and review different therapy options. I often suggest EMDR because my clients have told me that this is one of the most powerful therapies they have done. I spend a good amount of time explaining this therapy before we begin.
