Individual Therapy

You’re tired of not feeling like yourself

You crave peace connection groundedness


Life can be challenging. Current world events may be adding to your daily life stresses and bring up feelings of hopelessness, fear, anger, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, feeling overwhelmed and/or stuck. Additionally, you may carry the weight of unprocessed trauma that can affect your daily ability to function as well as how you interact in your relationships. Some common symptoms of unprocessed trauma include emotional dysregulation, low self worth, lack of insight, and people pleasing tendencies. You may find it difficult to connect with others, want to isolate, or be disappointed in your ability to show up how you want to.

Common phrases my clients express

My Specialties include

Trauma including Complex PTSD, People Pleasing, Highly Sensitive Persons, Neurodivergent

Trauma can be defined as experiencing an overwhelming event. Developmental trauma occurs at a young age with various causes including emotional neglect. Developmental trauma affects how we relate to others as we develop a style of relating for protection rather than connection.

People pleasing also known as fawning is a nervous system response to growing up in an environment that often felt chaotic and unsafe. As a self identified people pleaser, we learn to mask, suppress our needs, walk on egg shells in a hypervigilant state and not be connected to our true selves.

Highly sensitive persons are considered in the neurodivergent realm. Becoming overwhelmed much more than others by outside surroundings with loud noises, smells, and temperatures. Some avoid stimulation and others are sensory seeking. Often empaths who feel deeply.

Neurodivergent is a brain that works differently than neurotypical individuals. These differences often include communicating and or perceiving the environment differently, experiencing learning difficulties, feeling over or under stimulated in conversations or in your environment, feeling different and that you don’t fit in. Some examples include ADHD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Autism, Highly Sensitive Persons.

You are enough.

You matter.

You are worthy.

You are loved.
