Specialities
Each of us is the sum of our experiences in life. The secret is discovering how those experiences interrelate. I offer professional counseling in the areas described below.
Childhood Trauma
The wounds of childhood trauma don’t just disappear with time. These wounds go underground and become the driving force of your emotions, behaviors, and relationship patterns. Many of the symptoms we struggle with as adults such as anxiety, depression, addiction, people-pleasing, codependency, emotional numbness, control issues, chronic self-doubt, or even perfectionism, are not random. They often trace back to unresolved childhood trauma.
When we grow up in environments where our emotional needs were unmet, our pain unacknowledged, or our safety compromised, we adapt. We learn to disconnect from our feelings, numb out, or manage others' emotions just to survive. Over time, these adaptations become symptoms.
But symptoms are not the problem—they’re messengers.
They point us toward something deeper:
the wounds we still need to heal.
When we focus only on treating the surface problem, we may feel temporary relief, but not lasting healing.
Therapy is where the deeper healing happens.
It’s a space to slow down and finally listen to the parts of you that had to grow up too fast, to the emotions that were never safe to feel, and to the needs that went unmet.
Relationship Anxiety
Relationships can bring connection, joy, and meaning — but they can also activate deep fears and uncertainties. If you find yourself constantly questioning your relationship, overanalyzing interactions, seeking reassurance, or worrying about being rejected or abandoned, you may be experiencing relationship anxiety.
Relationship anxiety can make it difficult to feel secure, even in healthy relationships. You may find yourself replaying conversations, searching for signs that something is wrong, comparing your relationship to others, or feeling overwhelmed by doubts that seem impossible to quiet. These experiences are often connected to past relationships, attachment patterns, or experiences that have shaped how you view yourself and others.
I specialize in helping individuals understand and navigate relationship anxiety with greater clarity and self-compassion. Together, we explore the underlying fears, beliefs, and patterns that may be contributing to your distress while building tools to manage anxiety more effectively.
Trauma and Complex PTSD
Trauma can have a lasting impact on how you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you. You may find yourself feeling constantly on edge, disconnected from your emotions, struggling with trust, or repeating patterns that once helped you cope but no longer serve you.
Many people living with trauma or complex PTSD have spent years adapting to difficult circumstances. You may have learned to prioritize the needs of others, stay hyperaware of potential threats, suppress your emotions, or question your own experiences. These responses are often the nervous system's way of helping you survive overwhelming situations.
I specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma, including childhood trauma, attachment wounds, abuse, neglect, relational trauma, and other experiences that continue to affect their lives long after the events have passed. Together, we create a safe, collaborative space to explore the impact of these experiences, process painful memories, and better understand how trauma may be showing up in your relationships, emotions, and daily life.
Let's Talk
The first step in therapy is talking. Let's find a time where we can meet and talk about what's on your mind.
