Addressing past hurts and trauma can feel overwhelming. My experience facilitating trauma groups has taught me a balanced approach of empowering you with ways to cope and creating a safe space to share your story.

Relationships are essential. Whether they are romantic, family, or professional, learning how to take up space and be responsible for yourself in your relationships is a game changer. Healthy boundaries, communication, and conflict resolution are all skills that can be learned. If confidence is the issue, you can also learn to appreciate and accept yourself.

Our emotions are powerful. They are also valuable. Think of it as energy in motion. But sometimes they feel like they are in control of us. Through mindfulness training and cognitive behavioral treatment, you can learn to validate those emotions but still be in control of what you do with them.

Oftentimes the world seems like it is designed for someone else. Someone who has never struggled with depression or anxiety. Someone who doesn’t experience sensory overstimulation or decision paralysis. Someone who always has an even mood. You can learn to appreciate yourself the way you are and gain tools to make the world work for you.

MY COUNSELING METHOD
You have something to say, to explore, to understand about yourself. We start by creating a safe space to talk it through.
In the trusting environment we have created, we look at the discrepancies between beliefs and values or goals and behaviors. We practice new habits and try new things.
Eventually, your confidence will grow and you can enjoy the benefits of all your hard work.
“Sometimes we cannot change the environment significantly, but we can perhaps alter the way in which we perceive it. Values are not static: they evolve, and they involve a great deal of choice.”
