Do you feel a gnawing emptiness inside? Do you ask yourself, “will I ever be good enough”? Do you get the sense that you are inherently “defective” or "bad"? What if people really got to know you? Would they reject you? Do you feel like your brain bullies you? Is intimacy both your greatest fear and greatest longing? If you answered yes to any of these questions, there isn’t anything wrong with you. You are not helpless and there is hope. There are two types of trauma: shock trauma and relational trauma. You have most likely encountered childhood relational trauma. I'm here to explain more and walk you through this.
I have years of experience helping patients heal from varying degrees of trauma. I am not afraid of what you bring into the room. Some of my specialties include eating disorders, disordered eating, women issues, relational trauma, codependency, love addiction, depression, people pleasing, PTSD, self-esteem issues, anxiety, DV, trauma and abuse.
If you find yourself being kinder to others than you are to yourself or you struggle to treat yourself the way you would treat a friend, I would love to work with you. You are not alone and I will be with you in the lonely parts of yourself. My goal is to provide a safe space for your pain and to help you move forward, not "move on."
