Mental health issues can keep you stuck in the past or frozen in fear of moving forward. Your daily energy supply is consumed by distressing emotions and visions of future failure. Through sleepless nights and exhausting days, your inner critic can’t be silenced. It’s convinced you that this is who you are and this is how your life will always be.

There’s a myth about trauma that says it’s only the result of being in a combat situation. In reality, trauma is experienced by normal people confronted with abnormal situations. Almost everyone has experienced highly stressful and traumatizing events. Since the brain and body are part of one system, the consequences can affect your thoughts and memories, cause psychological pain and even result in physiological pain.

I’m here to let you know that you don’t need to keep reliving distressing memories and emotions. You don’t have to fight them, run from them, or be frozen by them. You’re more than capable of moving forward, achieving goals, and enjoying healthy relationships. Through traditional psychotherapy and body-centered visual modalities such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Brainspotting, and Mindfulness, we can create a unique plan that works for you.

While vigilance is healthy, hypervigilance consumes your life energy. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I’m here to support you in moving beyond these debilitating mental health issues. If you’re prepared to recharge and take control of how you use your life energy, let’s work together to create the life you want.
