By identifying the most distressing current problems first and working backwards to their origins, trauma focused therapy can help to create present time stability while healing the underlying issues of the past.
If you've been pushing hard to move forward in life but find you continue to struggle with relationships, maintaining balance, having boundaries, or finding internal self-worth outside of your accomplishments, I can empathize with your struggle. If you find it hard to sit at peace with yourself unless you're on the go, feel a nagging sense of insecurity and anxiety despite your efforts to have it all put together, or find the past continues to creep up after pushing past trauma, I'd be honored to help you find your calm within the storm and get your footing again.

Occasionally, our path through life appears filled with potholes, blind curves, and dead-ends. This can be overwhelming if we lack the tools to surmount these obstacles. Do you occasionally feel you were absent on the day the instruction manual for life was being handed out? If the answer is yes, then you are most definitely not alone. The decision to seek therapeutic counsel, guidance and support is not always a simple one. I feel honored when someone allows me to be a part of their journey towards wellness and greater satisfaction with life.
