The experience of trauma can shift our perspectives and cause changes in our attitudes, beliefs, and values. It can change the way we live, how we show up in our relationships, and create a disconnect that leads to withdrawal and isolation.
Those who’ve been through trauma may “mask” what we’re feeling, act as if everything is OK, when in actuality, we’re feeling numb, angry, empty, and depressed.
Trauma can cause us to stop trusting others. We may put up walls and shut people out. We become closed off and it’s hard to connect.
It leaves us on edge, with our minds constantly running and worrying about things that most people don’t. There are few places where we can let our guards down and we often expect the worst to happen.
It can diminish our sense of joy, happiness, hope, and peace—those emotions we know we "should" be able to feel.
And trauma can make us feel incredibly lonely, confused, and frustrated. It’s not how we want to be or how we want to live.
I’m here to tell you it can get better. We’ll work together, at your pace, to get through your struggles. Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here to support you.
Let’s start with a call and just go from there.

Does this sound familiar?
constant struggles to focus and pay attention
bored easily, often having a new hobby, or projects waiting to be done
usually running late or showing up way too early
easily overwhelmed, overstimulated, and dysregulated
all of your “systems” never seem to stick and you can’t stay organized
consistency and structure is hard to maintain
even when you try, you end up falling behind (or you just don’t start at all)
… and you can’t figure out why things just seem harder for you
If this describes you, let’s figure out if you have ADHD and what we can do about it!

Many of us experience symptoms of anxiety or depression (or both) within our lifetime.
It may happen because of a situation like getting laid off, starting a new chapter, a breakup, or a loss.
Anxiety or depression might be something you’ve struggled with because of self-esteem or identity issues, feeling “not good enough”, or believing you have to be perfect.
It could be because of dissatisfaction in your own life, problems in a relationship, or confusion about what is next.
Regardless of what you are facing, I’m here to listen, but more importantly, help you get through it.
