Trauma, such as sexual trauma can result in trauma responses that continue the experience of stress. As a survivor myself, I have seen the impact of the traumatic grief, avoidance, and intense emotions that sometimes results, and from that, I found ways to heal. I became motivated to help others heal and build hope that it's possible to move your life forward after experiencing trauma. Some of my clients have been veterans, first responders, and assault victims.

It's important to know that no matter what you're dealing with, growth is possible. I work on building new life directions with people.

Experiencing anxiety is stressful. Working together we will develop a toolbox of skills you can use to manage, reduce, and eliminate symptoms of anxiety. We will also develop a framework to understand the process of how anxiety has functioned in your life, maybe as a protective factor as much as it has been a challenge.

Working with the following - but not limited to just this list: learning how to have healthy conflict, how to sort out tough issues, developing an experience of being heard and understood, communicating validation, developing acceptance, and learning to provide forgiveness. Other areas include - how to deal with a partner's trauma response, and how to manage your own trauma response.

By talking through issues and narratives, we will learn to re-narrate areas that seem old or unhelpful. We will incorporate positive, healthy recovery narratives within the framework.
