When you experience trauma…

…it tells you something negative about yourself. "You're not good enough, You're unworthy, You're unlovable, You're not smart...etc." As a result of these hidden messages, you find ways to over-compensate for these lies. Maybe you give more in your friendships than you receive and continue to find yourself in one-sided relationships! Maybe you became a perfectionist and are the best at what you do, but still, feel inadequate and anxious. Has trauma said you are not smart, despite excelling at your job or school? Maybe you shrink yourself or put yourself in a box and allow your talents to go unnoticed?

Are you ready silence your inner critic? Do you want to learn how to manage your triggers and emotions? Are you ready to restore balance in your life? I can teach you the skills to reclaim your life and find peace you deserve!

Are you tired of being the “dependable one” in your family? You are juggling multiple roles of mom, wife, career woman…Everyone thinks you are superwoman, but underneath you are struggling silently. Does your inner critic tell you that you are “not good enough” and you need to be doing more? You are successful but still don’t feel good enough. I see you.

When the effects of trauma strikes, it can often happen when you least expect it. Sometimes years have passed then suddenly you are riddled with anxiety or depression. You feel triggered by relatively benign things...Your partner, kids, relationships and job are all sources of triggers. Considers what it would feel like to live without the burden of trauma!

Are you looking to heal a relationship or emotional trauma? Or strengthen your current relationship? Are you seeking help navigating new life transitions such as getting married or having a baby? Are you looking to reset your life and break free of depression and anxiety that has been burdening your life? I help couples, parents, mothers and individuals successfully navigate major life transitions, heal trauma and mend broken relationships while teaching each person how to live out their lives abundantly and authentically.
