Complex PTSD / Childhood Trauma Counseling
Are you feeling pain from past distressing memories? Maybe your adult life is pretty good, yet you struggle with anxiety, depression, & shame rooted in your past. You want to heal, but don’t know where to begin or have been in therapy for awhile but aren’t making the progress you seek. Unresolved trauma can feel overwhelming. It can impact our relationships, sense of self, and how we relate with the world. If any of this sounds like your experience, you don’t have to work through this alone, I’d like to help.
Couples Counseling
Are you & your partner struggling with communication? Does resolving conflicts feel overwhelming? Maybe you’re thinking ‘we love each other, why is this so hard?’. Perhaps one or both of you have past traumas & you see it impacting how you are able to show up for each other, especially in moments of conflict. Maybe you went through something challenging together and need a safe place to process this. Perhaps you want to learn new ways to work with emotions and how to advocate for what you both need. All relationships go through times where they could use support. I’m here to help.
Polyamorous / CNM Relationship Counseling
Are you & your partner(s) exploring polyamory / CNM? Maybe you’ve had an open relationship for awhile but are shifting from one form of CNM to another and it’s bringing up all the feels. Perhaps you & your partner(s) are struggling with communication or balancing everyone’s feelings & needs. Maybe you need help figuring out agreements in the relationship that honor everyone involved. Or perhaps agreements were broken and you need help to repair and rebuild trust. All relationships go through times where they could use support. I’d like to help.
