Expertise: EFT • Childhood Stressors • Trauma

---

Perhaps you are feeling exhausted, fatigued, and overwhelmed.  Past or recent experiences might be occupying the majority of your thoughts.  Or you're taking care of everyone else and neglecting yourself.

You don’t need to do this alone, healing doesn’t have to be painful, it can bring relief from stressful symptoms. It can also be an enjoyable process along the way.

I know the pain of suffering, watching loved ones engulfed in illness and the grief associated with family members passing away.  Witnessing a loved one face an abrupt medical condition or longer-term illness can create deep confusion, anger, sadness, and an overwhelming feeling of what to expect next.  

Through individual and family counseling your family will find comfort and relief while receiving support and guidance.  Whether you are in the initial stages, in midst of a medical crisis or near recovery, hope is available. As a trauma therapist, allow me to work alongside you through healing.  

Feeling isolated and alone while struggling to navigate mild or deep depression can feel overwhelming. Similarly, anxiety can become all-encompassing, triggering debilitating fight-flight-freeze reactions. To cope, many individuals develop adaptive behaviors rooted in childhood patterns. While mechanisms such as workaholism, over-eating, excessive exercise, or social withdrawal may offer temporary distraction, they ultimately function as short-term solutions rather than addressing the underlying distress.

One helpful approach involves identifying and examining childhood coping mechanisms that once served a protective purpose but now contribute to disconnection from yourself and others. Utilizing Relational Life Therapy (RLT) helps make sense of these relational patterns and clarifies why we get stuck in them. Additionally, externalizing challenges through Narrative Therapy and incorporating mindfulness practices can create the necessary space to manage intrusive thoughts and ease the weight of emotional challenges.
