A lot of people come to me carrying old wounds, wounds that were never meant to be theirs to carry in the first place. You may look like you’re functioning on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, depressed, or lost within. Early on, you may have learned to ignore your own needs, take care of others, strive for perfection, or stay small in order to feel safe and accepted. You might find yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, struggling to trust yourself or others, or noticing that past experiences continue to impact your present life. I work with teenagers (16+) and adults who are struggling with PTSD, childhood and attachment wounds, and religious trauma. I also support young adults navigating life transitions, including relationships, career changes, independence, and developing a sense of self.
