I approach my work with the belief each of us deserves to be seen and heard. For many of us, the most important thing in life is to feel connected, supported, and secure with those we care about. I have spent the last few years working with clients with histories of trauma incurred through relationships, be they family, romantic, platonic, or professional. The work clients and I do together focuses initially on processing the impact of our relationships, developing coping skills to deal with current behaviors, and moving forward with a healthier, more balanced life. Just as most trauma is incurred through relationships, it's my belief that providing a safe and accepting therapeutic relationship helps clients feel secure in exploring their feelings. That said, I never encourage a client to explore any experiences or memories they're not ready to explore without prior discussion and emotional prepwork. We go at your pace. If this sounds like a good fit for you or you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and we can discuss them. I look forward to your call.
