Let's differentiate sadness, hopelessness, depression, grief... We can use trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills, which are proven to help treat depressive disorders. Maybe you need to clarify diagnoses and symptoms. Perhaps our work is in challenging self-defeating thoughts and healing wounded beliefs. I can help you find tools to cater to yourself, to promote self-care. We can work to improve personal relationships and avenues of support.

We will give sacred, safe space to your experiences. We can learn about your attachment styles, impacts of trauma, how trauma plays out in your relationships with self and others. You can grow awareness of what holds you back from your best self. I can support you with addressing barriers to communication, boundaries, emotional connection, trust. We can strengthen bonds, have deeper emotional understanding, and healthier connections. We will clarify symptoms and diagnoses, if helpful.

I define anxiety as unexpressed, trapped feelings. Anxiety can be a product of grief, anger, sadness, and even positive emotions, or eustress (positive stress such as a move or promotion or relationship milestone). Let's get to the root of your anxiety. We'll find ways to work through anxiety. We can work together on effective coping skills for you to practice amid heightened anxiety. We will cater to your nervous system, learn about your anxiety responses, and work to nourish your body & mind.

You may have heard the phrase, "The body keeps the score," indicating our traumas can stay with us over time, if not worked through, if not offered a safe, sacred space for healing. Do you notice wounds from your past creating trouble in the present day? Maybe attachment or relational pains? Depression and anxiety? I would be honored to walk with you as you heal forward, maintain self-worth, and move toward secure attachment and increased quality of life.
