About

Maybe all you know in this moment is there is undeniable hurt. You might not understand why yet, but you know you are certainly desperate for a change. You may wonder: how will talking help me feel better? I believe that the worst suffering happens in secret. Our wounds get deeper when we stay silent and isolated. I believe that if enduring painful things can greatly change our minds, our minds can (and will) change through healing. Psychotherapy isn’t just about being understood, it is about the healing that takes place in this relationship, as we make sense of all the things you couldn’t know, until now. Trauma means your past is still alive inside of you, keeping you stuck. Back then, you had to disconnect from your body, your intuition, your joy, and your true self to function. Processing and healing from trauma means learning to reconnect to yourself, knowing the difference between then and now, and putting all the feelings in their rightful place.
