Trauma Therapy
Tears threaten to fall down your cheeks at a moment's notice, and at the most inconvenient of times. Nevermind the burning ball of fire caught in your throat, or the flashbacks that hit you like a ton of bricks; at least those things aren't visible. It's all you can do to keep waking up every single morning: doing your best to show up for work, show up for your kids, show up for yourself when your whole world is falling apart. Things won't slow down, and it's completely exasperating.
Somehow, you push through, but only by eventually turning those threatening tears into numbness. And now you don't feel anything at all. No anger, no sadness, no happiness or joy. At least you can function on a basic level, but what's the point of living this way? You need something to change. You desperately need relief, but don't know where to turn.
Whether it's betrayal, divorce, death, estrangement, childhood wounds, etc... trauma affects us at work, at home, and in our relationships. It can look like depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and a multitude of other symptoms; all leading back to the same root: a traumatic event in your life.
I'm here to help you process trauma; heal your trauma responses, and get your life back. I know starting therapy can feel nerve-wracking or even downright impossible, but one thing you'll learn through our sessions; is you're capable of so much more than you ever thought possible.
Postpartum Therapy
The baby’s here, and instead of feeling joy, you're just... wiped out. It’s like you’ve been thrown into a whirlwind, and suddenly everything feels harder than you ever imagined. You look at your baby and feel this deep love, but also this overwhelming sense of exhaustion and fear. Why does it feel like everything is falling apart? Why is this so much harder than you thought it would be? What are these terrifying thoughts coming out of nowhere? You feel like you're losing your mind.
The constant demands of a newborn, baby, toddler are no joke. It’s not just about late-night feedings and diaper changes—it's the emotional rollercoaster you didn’t expect. You find yourself questioning everything: Why am I so tired? Why am I so frustrated when I should be feeling grateful? Why do I feel so disconnected from myself and my partner? These feelings are a lot to process, and it’s scary when they come out of nowhere. You might even start to wonder if you're doing it all wrong or if you're ever going to feel “normal” again.
Those feelings, as overwhelming as they may be, —they don’t make you a bad mom, they make you human. Postpartum life is tough, and it can be a lot to carry on your own. But with some support, it doesn’t have to feel this way forever. Therapy can help you unpack the emotional side of all this chaos and get back to a place where you feel more like yourself. It’s okay to need help and take time for you. You're doing your best, and that's enough. Let's work together to find a way out of this fog. You deserve to feel better.
Couples Therapy
It's hard to believe it's come to this. How did we get here? Where did it all go wrong? You barely even recognize your partner anymore, much less yourself. What happened to the trust? The kind interactions? After all that was invested into this; the entirety of your relationship has been boiled down to harsh words and resentment. Something needs to change, or it's all going to come crashing down.
Whether your relationship is facing infidelity, constant fighting, parenting disagreements, a lack of intimacy, financial ruin, infertility, etc... unresolved emotional wounds create barriers in relationships, potentially leading to a couple's demise. Relationship issues may seem impossible to overcome, leaving you feeling frustrated and hopeless, not knowing where to start.
It doesn't have to be this way. With the right support, healing and growth are possible. You get to decide where you want your relationship to go from here. Couples therapy is the place to do just that, with a neutral yet invested therapist. Based on your goals, I will help you either learn how to love and trust again; or figure out the most loving way to let each other go.
Life Coaching
Expectations are high; as a husband, as a father; and you start to wonder if you're good enough. Whether you're a stay at home dad trying to ignore the judgmental opinions of others; or whether you're a first responder struggling to be fully present at home when your mind is still reeling from the things you've seen; it's starting to feel like you're failing those you love the most.
If you’re in the middle of a divorce- the weight of the emotional fallout is overwhelming—anger, guilt, confusion. You want to be strong, and a healthy coparent, but the constant pull of conflicting emotions makes it tough to know what’s right. Each day feels like a struggle to just get through, but there’s this quiet voice inside that keeps telling you you’re not enough, no matter how hard you try.
But here's the thing: You’re still here. You keep showing up, even when it feels like you can’t keep going. And that’s where I come in. You don’t have to do this alone. Together, we can create a plan, rebuild the connection you’ve lost, navigate the emotional chaos, and help you get back to the person you want to be—for you. You deserve that.
