Trauma
Trauma does not discriminate. Trauma rewires our brain chemistry which impacts the way we perceive the world we live in. Trauma is not just experienced emotionally but in the body as well.
During a traumatic event, the mind and body become activated. For some people, after the threat has passed, the mind and body will return to normal. For others, hyperarousal and hyperreactivity remain and become chronic. The chronic stress response can dysregulate the stress system in the body, causing stress-related physical conditions to develop, such as chronic fatigue and high blood pressure just to name a few.
Trauma therapy can be challenging. However, living with unprocessed trauma can be very emotionally debilitating.
Together we will work to: develop coping skills to handle distorted or negative thoughts and feelings, reframe the traumatic experience and make some sense of it, improve close relationships and connections with people, reduce irritability, anger, guilt, shame, frustration, and increase peace of mind and eliminate or reduce triggers and symptoms of PTSD.

Miscarriages & fertility
Individuals and families whom experiences infertility and miscarriages often suffer in silence. It can leave individuals and families lost, shame, anger, and guilt. All while fielding questions such as "when are you guys having another child or why haven't you guys had a children yet?" from family, friends, and associates.
The stigmatization surrounding infertility contributes to an atmosphere of silence and invisibility. Infertility can affect both men and women, despite a common misconception that infertility is a woman’s condition.
However, Many women who experience infertility feel a sense of failure or self-blame toward their bodies, and some may withdraw socially, isolate, or struggle with their identity and sense of self. The stigma surrounding infertility can make it difficult for women to reach out for support. As a result, they find themselves navigating the experience alone. Please don't do it alone. Reach out to me-let's find a way to regain your values and sense of self so you can live a balance life!

Therapy for Therapist
I know from experience how hard it can be to find a therapist when you’re a therapist yourself. When left unchecked, therapists can be especially prone to burnout and depression.
You may also feel concerned about finding a confidential space to work with a therapist. You want to be absolutely sure that your therapist will respect your privacy.
You might be looking for your own therapist because you’re feeling overwhelmed by the countertransference you’re experiencing as a trainee/professional and you need help processing what’s come up. Or maybe you’re looking for a therapist to support you through any number of human experiences because therapists are people too.
