Welcome. I know it can be hard to take this step, reaching out, possibly searching for something different. I'm glad you did, and I'm glad you're here. Relationships, transitions, twists and turns in life's journey...all are so important. And it's just this importance that can make navigating them seem so difficult at times. If you're feeling stuck in your relationship, disconnected, or are dealing with effects of difficult circumstances (past or present), let's talk.

Are you grieving the loss of a loved one? Have you gone through an experience of loss leaving you with feelings of anger, sadness or guilty? Are you feeling stuck and alone? Grief is a challenging experience; one filled with questions and uncertainty of how to move forward. Questioning “where do I go from here?”; “should I be over this by now?”; “why did this have to happen?” All while battling others' thoughts and opinions of how you should be addressing your grief. Everyone's grieving process is unique and moves at different paces. As long as grief is being addressed, there is no right or wrong way to go about the process.

What exactly IS trauma? Trauma is any experience that the person deems negative and continues to live in the shadow of the event(s). If you feel trapped, like the trauma is following you, within you, or pops up at random, I can help. I love helping people to get "unstuck," so that they are no longer being controlled by their past traumas. I offer two life-changing therapies, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy). These therapies help clients transform themselves from symptomatic to symptom-free, giving people a sense of peace, safety and the freedom to truly live life.

Trauma and stress are not distributed fairly among us, but they are a part of life we all have to learn to navigate. While I can't say treatment of trauma - or any successful therapy - is fun, easy, or quick, if you are looking at Psychology Today profiles you are likely considering getting support and making some changes. That is an excellent first step! If you are experiencing difficulties in your relationships, feeling lost, burned out at work, or having difficulty understanding or moving past things that have happened in life, I hope you will consider therapy as an option to help move forward. Even short-term work may help.
