The trauma we experience, or witness during childhood can have a profound impact on our adult lives. It can create self-doubt and a sense of powerlessness, making us feel like we have little control over our lives. It's natural to feel this way when life keeps throwing challenges our way.
Trauma complicates balancing our emotions, thoughts, and feelings with our daily responsibilities and obligations. Juggling all these tasks at once can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling numb and depressed.
Therapy can really change the game when it comes to healing from trauma. It's all about finding what makes you feel safe and learning who you can trust.
This journey towards feeling safe and trusting others can seriously improve your life. It can make your relationships deeper and healthier. You might notice less stress and better health overall. Emotionally, you'll feel more robust and more secure. Even your finances can improve as you make more intelligent choices that fit what's important to you. In short, by diving into this process, you heal and start focusing on what matters most, leading to a happier and more balanced life. I believe that everyone has the potential to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. By identifying and working towards their goals, my clients can unlock their full potential and create a life they love.
These therapies offer different tools and pathways to healing from the effects of childhood trauma. I use these tools and others effectively with my compassionate approach, vast trauma experience, and understanding of your complex emotional issues.
You may benefit from a different approach to progressing in your therapy. Often, people believe that going to therapy gives them the signal to just sit back and have the therapist figure “you” out. That’s not true. You make the most progress outside the session when you put in the effort and time to work through the recommendations and advice your therapist provided.
I coach clients who have previously seen other therapists to recover from childhood trauma. Coaching helps my clients remain consistent and focused to become the person they were meant to be.

I participate with Carefirst BCBS, Cigna, and United Healthcare.
My main goal is to finally resolve the impact of the childhood trauma that has secretly ruled the safety and trust in connecting you to partners, friends, themselves, family members and lifetime goals.
I do that by:
(I work with clients who know the trauma and have worked on it once before but are still not where they want to be on the trust issues, feeling unlovable, broken, not of value, unworthy of…, etc. I hear your story, examine your defense mechanisms to survival, and then allow you to reclaim lost feelings of safety, trust, and worth, which transition into a future of healthy connections and goal accomplishments.)
1. Hearing your story
2. Identify what you believe about yourself and your abilities because of your past
3. Identify where you want to go
4. Help you understand what you subconsciously already know about how to achieve your results
5. Finally, it helps you learn how to feel safe and trust yourself and those who are worth connecting to.
I do this with 50-to-60-minute sessions.
Consult with me for 20 minutes. Based on what you need, determine if you are eligible for the program and how we can move you forward.
This program allows you to meet with me multiple times monthly to process and achieve goals as frequently as possible. This structured approach allows you to progress consistently and accomplish thorough and multiple goals. With each step, you move closer to actual safety and authentic self-acceptance.
