To quote Mary Harvey, “trauma survivors have symptoms instead of memories.” In my work, I have found it is common for people to question if they are "crazy" or if something is "wrong" with them. More often than not, the answer is "no." No, you are not crazy. No, something is not wrong with you. Rather, your body has adapted to traumas and perceived threats in ways that have helped you survive over time. When we feel tense, anxious, or angry and on edge with those uncomfortable bodily responses ...

Progress, not perfection. This is a concept that is often hard to wrap our brains around because we have been conditioned to believe that we have to have it all together at all times, but this is not the reality.

I want to thank you for taking this first step towards building a better you. As adults we often find ourselves in tra...

There are many reasons individuals seek counseling and regardless of those reasons I believe every individual can benefit from counseling.

Once we identify those goals we work together to discover how to make your preferred future a realit...
