You carry the weight of your past experiences, impacting you both emotionally and mentally.

You've been trying to carry the burden on your own, putting on a brave face for those around you, but it's becoming overwhelming. The fear of being a burden lingers as you navigate the aftermath of traumatic events.

Endless reflections on the past, attempting to cope with the effects of trauma while striving for a semblance of normalcy. Feelings of frustration, isolation, and perhaps mourning for the life you once knew may be part of your daily experience.

Defeat sets in when you struggle with the aftermath, unable to fully engage in social activities, leaving you exhausted and disheartened.

You're tired of:

Angry and robbed of the sense of security you once had.
Like a burden when reaching out for support becomes a necessity.
Lost, as if the trauma has reshaped your life in ways that are hard to recognize.

How I can help:

You can stop carrying the weight and let it all out

I Understand Where You're Coming From

A significant portion of my practice is dedicated to supporting individuals navigating the complex terrain of trauma, ranging from the challenges of chronic illness to the nuanced journey of recovering from childhood sexual abuse. My commitment to understanding and addressing trauma is deeply rooted in extensive research and personal experince. I embarked on this journey during my undergraduate studies and delved even further during my graduate studies. Notably, my first master's thesis delved into the intricate landscape of complex PTSD and the associated challenges of developing trust in professional services. Complementing this academic foundation, I've completed post-graduate training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I stay up-to-date with trauma literature, ensuring that my practice is informed by the most current and effective approaches.

Your mental well-being is a priority.

I'll be right there beside you as you embark on your journey towards healing, fostering the confidence to live your life with a sense of wholeness.

Together, we'll unveil your resilience and strengths. Exploring your individuality, we'll seamlessly integrate it into our work, serving as a compass to guide you toward what holds deep meaning for you.

Navigating through trauma can be overwhelming, yet it's crucial to persist and challenge yourself. As a survivor, you already possess immense strength, and with each step forward, your resilience grows even stronger.

You're not alone
