Therapist

Looking to shift your perspective from "What is wrong with me" to "What happened to me"? My ideal client is someone who is willing to engage in an inner deep-dive into what they've experienced and survived. My area of specialty is treating Complex PTSD- particularly military/veterans/first responders, SOF/intelligence communities, women, and survivors of childhood and sexual trauma, and "high achievers". I also treat anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
