Sometimes we don’t have anyway of knowing what we’ve been through until it’s over. Recognizing things that were harmful to us sometimes cannot happen until we are no longer in survival mode.

This can lead to people struggling to handle life, and even consider ending it. At Inverted Dawn, we specifically work with people who’ve reached that point w...

Many of the students I work with look like they’ve got it together on the outside, but underneath they’re overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break. Some are carrying the impact of past trauma. Others are dealing with intense emotions that feel hard to manage, or using substances as a way to cope and get through the day. Even when those strategies “work” short-term, they often create more stress, shame, or disconnection over time. What they all have in common is...

These strengths are then combined with research-based practices to build skills needed to achieve one's personal goals. If a client is unsure about their goals, they have my support in helping to clarify them. We will then learn, practice and apply the skills. At other times, a simple objective ear is all a clie...
