When you think about how far you have come from your past, you are amazed. The steps that you have taken to get to where you are today did not seem possible three years ago. Even though your situation has completely changed and life is incredible, it still doesn’t feel that way. You feel guilty about what has been left behind. Extreme emotions come up from smells, sights, or statements, and you can’t control it. Nightmares cause you fear when you think about sleeping. You are sick of living this way and want to find some sort of peace but don’t know how or where to start.
By working together on a consistent basis, we can improve your mood, calm your mind, decrease your nightmares, and help you to feel in your body again. I have extensive training in different types of trauma treatment and utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR.
Hello! My name is Rustin (she/they), and I specialize in working with trauma that hinders people from progressing in their lives. As I am part of the community, I greatly enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ population. I’m not here to make decisions for you or tell you what to do. I WILL help you talk through struggles to find what fits your life.
