You may find yourself in a state of overwhelm that amps you up or shuts you down. It's quite possible you armor up on the outside while feeling messy on the inside. If only others knew how dreadfully stuck, confused, and exhausted you feel. Part of you wants to let others “in”, yet it is hard to trust. You don't want to appear weak or be a burden. Multiple stressors may be weighing heavy on you. Genuine connection and support feels unreachable.
Knowing that we can trust and be surrounded with support are fundamental human needs. Without an internal sense of safety and without stable healthy relationships, we feel off-centered and retract from life. We want to feel contentment, to open up, and to connect. And when stress happens, we want skills to move through it and show up fully as ourselves.
As a trauma-specialty counselor, I offer a safe haven for clients to find relief, build connection, and cultivate health. Clients who work with me appreciate my first-hand experience of trauma's impact and of post-traumatic healing. I help clients process the pain so they can begin functioning and living out their best life. Reach out today!
