Betrayal trauma is like having the ground pulled out from under you. It’s this deep, overwhelming pain that breaks your sense of safety and trust, not just in others but often in yourself. You might feel a mix of shock, anger, and confusion, like the world just doesn’t make sense anymore. The person you relied on and trusted has suddenly caused you so much hurt, leaving you feeling vulnerable and isolated, unsure of what’s real. It’s like riding an emotional rollercoaster, with waves of sadness, anxiety, and even numbness as you try to make sense of the betrayal and the love and trust you once had.

Trials and tribulations can arise despite our age, race, religion, sex, or background. Despite our intersectionality, we all deserve and need a safe space to explore our thoughts, feelings, experiences, and behaviors; understanding the impact of all aspects of our lives allows us to use that information to recognize patterns and create new ones. I receive immense joy by allowing others to be seen, heard, valued, and respected in my presence. I often spend my spare time encouraging others to live in their truth and providing them with the space to do so. You don’t have to know where to begin, you just have to be ready to start!

Maybe you've been thinking of trying therapy for a while, or have almost given up that it could work for you. I'd love to help you see the beauty in accepting that, as in life, it’s okay to not "get it right" the first time. I enjoy reactivating hope in people to see the potential in themselves and in others. You don't have to try making changes on your own.

Life is difficult, transitions can be hard. Things can go along well and then you can find yourself uncertain about past, present and future. Uncertainty can bring about further emotional challenges, feelings of sadness, confusion, worry and possibly fear. Healing can be discovered within the self and having someone come along side providing safety and guidance can help the process. Experiences in life have a tendency to shape who we become, our thoughts and our beliefs. Some experiences unknowingly can close avenues of growth and potential. I believe in the importance of knowing, understanding and accepting self.
