The decision to pursue therapy requires courage, as the prospect of sharing personal information with another person can be daunting. A trusting relationship is the essence of effective treatment. You need to feel connected and understood in order to share your internal world. Finding the right therapist is the first step towards healing and the relief of your pain. I provide an environment of integrity and respect that supports you in order for you to accept the responsibility for your own change. Helping people reach their highest possibility is the essence of this work for me. I am a multidimensional, flexible, empathic, understanding, safe, and trustworthy counselor offering genuineness and non-judgment with the intention to help you embrace yourself as you are today, so as to explore your full potential for tomorrow.
More Info About My Practice
I have extensive experience working with returning veterans who may be experiencing symptoms of trauma. Trauma creates feelings of helplessness and intense fear accompanied by distressing memories of the traumatic event, the body's fight, flight, or freeze reaction, emotional numbing, and avoidance of thoughts and feelings related to the trauma. These feelings can result in social isolation and alienation. Trauma is often difficult to understand and affects relationships with family, friends, and co-workers.
