I get it! Asking for help is hard. Especially when you wear ALL of the hats- student, parent, spouse, friend, employee, boss. But that is exhausting having to make sure everyone else is happy and everything around you is running smoothly. You might find yourself worrying about everything else- and you forget about yourself. Then add a stressful life experience or traumatic upbringing to the mix and you find yourself wondering who you are, what makes you happy, how you are going to get through this, and how you got here in the first place. Things can get tough and I am here to help you through it.
To help reach your goals, improve quality of life, manage your emotions, set healthy boundaries, effectively communicate your needs, and safely process trauma I utilize an individualized & trauma informed approach to therapy. I specialize in trauma & believe in treating the root cause of your symptoms and can utilize EMDR to help you find yourself again.
I understand, being vulnerable is scary, asking for help when you are the one everyone leans on makes it even harder- I've been there! But I assure you, if you are ready to put in the mental work and set aside some time to focus on yourself we can get you back to feeling like yourself again. I encourage you to reach out today for a consultation. :)
