All people have the potential to learn and grow towards their goals but change and growth rarely occur in a straight line. Being mean to yourself does not help, you have a story and it makes sense that you feel, believe, act and react as you do. If you want to believe these statements but are finding it difficult, I would love an opportunity to meet with you. I am a fully licensed psychologist and enjoy working with adolescents and adults with a wide range of concerns. I believe that therapy...

When I was a student in college, my parents were going through a bitter divorce and I lost a close friend from school and three family members all in one year. I felt as if I was losing my mind. My close friends connected me with a therapist and it literally changed my life. I felt heard, supported and validated and was given permission to let things go and actually focus on my issues and my needs instead of everyone else’s. This is one of the main reasons why I practice therapy and have a h...

Another way to understand trauma symptoms is that they occur when an individual’s context overwhelms their nervous system’s ability to...

For most people, there comes a time when life’s stressors become too great for the individual to manage on their own.

The intervention or change for each person varies based on that ind...
