Relationship Issues and Trauma

Great to meet you!

You're frustrated. You don't know why you feel so unhappy, but you do. It seems like all you do is give while others just take. You feel empty inside. What's worse is that you're angry, but you feel guilty about it. You know that something needs to change. Sometimes, your "caring" only allows people to take advantage of you and often you go without your needs being met. The good news is that you can learn to change these patterns!

A bit about my approach to therapy

You can find the happiness and fulfillment that you long for! The first step is getting support. Together we'll explore the messages you received in childhood, family dynamics, relationships, and destructive behavior patterns.

What you can expect from our first session

We will identify and validate buried feelings. If trauma is part of your story, we'll work to reduce the impact.
