About me
I am an experienced trauma specialist with enhanced training in wellness and holistic healing. I specialize in working with people 12 and up who have experienced trauma(s) that are impacting their ability to consistently experience wellness.
That feeling of being disconnected from yourself or stuck in a joyless existence is not something you must simply endure. The lingering effects of trauma caused by overwhelming events can prevent you from experiencing the present fully or anticipating the future with hope.
Imagine living life without the frenzy of distraction, the seduction of escape or the public relations campaign of always being “fine”. How would it feel to no longer be controlled by another person or event? What would it be like to be in relationships without anxiety, fear or intimidation preventing you from feeling the fullness of that experience? What if you laughed more, worried less, and interacted with yourself compassionately?
The clients I work with tell me my strengths-based approach helps them interpret the events that have caused them distress with a growing awareness of their own power to create solutions, accept the past and fully engage the present. I believe that people have more health and strength than they often identify on their own. It is always remarkable to me to have the privilege of watching my clients function from a place a wellness with increasing confidence.
My approach includes a dedicated focus to the wholistic wellbeing of clients. I use various therapies that have proven effectiveness with nurturing wellness while reducing symptoms.
Go ahead and reach for the life you want. Consider giving me a call to talk about your needs and to possibly schedule an appointment.
