I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. We all have our own unique stories that have helped shape and influence how we perceive and respond to the world around us, but sometimes this isn't always positive. Is your past sneaking into your thoughts and creating difficulty in your day to day life? Do you often feel anxious or depressed? Do you struggle with your own self worth? I know how difficult it can be to reach out in the midst of your struggles. Your brain might be telling you that you’re not worthy, that you can’t do it, or that nothing will change.
Understanding how our past and potential traumas can influence our present can help give us the power to promote positive change. I've focused my training on understanding trauma and supporting individuals in crisis. I offer encouragement and gentle realistic thought processing all while focusing on your individual strengths and goals.
It can be very scary to take the first step, but I would love to be part of your journey to healing. I strive to create a safe, friendly, and welcoming environment where healing is possible.
