Empowering adults to rewrite their stories of resilience. With a focus on trauma recovery, I'm here to help you heal, grow, and embrace a future full of possibility.
Childhood or Recent Trauma
Trauma can feel like an overwhelming and persistent emotional storm, leaving you with a sense of profound distress and vulnerability.
Poor Self-Esteem & Insecurity
Persistent self-doubt, a constant fear of judgment, and a reluctance to assert one's needs or opinions at various times.
PTSD & C-PTSD
Intrusive memories, flashbacks, heightened anxiety, avoidance of trauma reminders, mood swings, and difficulties with concentration.
Neglect and Abuse
Neglect and abuse can result in difficulty forming healthy relationships, struggles with self-worth, and challenges in regulating emotions.
Attachment Disorders
Stemming from disruptions in early bonding experiences and impacting emotional connections throughout life.
Unable to Set Boundaries
Leaves you vulnerable to the demands and expectations of others, resulting in emotional exhaustion and diminished self-worth.
Self Abandonment
Neglecting one's own needs, emotions, and well-being, often leading to a disconnection from personal fulfillment and self-care.
Unhealthy Relationships
Patterns of poor communication, lack of trust, emotional or physical abuse, and a persistent imbalance of power dynamics
Emotion Regulation & Reactivity
An overwhelming surge of intense emotions, making it challenging to regulate reactions and navigate situations calmly.
Relationship Issues

Maybe you don't trust easily, or at all?

Do you have nightmares but are unable to remember what they were about, only how they made you feel?
-
Is there a part of your past that you're unable to remember? Up to a certain age? A specific grade in school?

Emotional flashbacks? Unlike actual memories, these are overwhelming emotions that feel disturbing yet familiar.

Do you believe you are fundamentally worthless?

Do you feel broken beyond repair?

Avoidance Behaviors

Maladaptive self-soothing; overindulging in exercise, pornography, work, or masturbation?
-
Self-harm? This could include cutting, pulling out hair, burning, or other forms of causing pain to your body.
