That big next step involves developing a trusting and genuine rapport with your clinician. I invite you to reach out and begin that process with me and know that it can be done with humor, understanding, and a very strong believe in the fact that we are not perfect, that we are not made to go it alone all the time, and that we all need somewhere and someone that it can be all about you for a moment.

Many people have experienced traumatic events, whether in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood. Those events, many of which become compartmentalized over time, can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and difficulty concentrating or sleeping. Posttraumatic symptoms such as dissociation, flashbacks, nightmares, and intrusive thoughts can also occur. These symptoms can sometimes be exacerbated by life stressors, including microaggressions, important life transitions, or existential angst about the state of the world. Sometimes life can seem overwhelming, and therapy can provide strategies to cope.
