C-PTSD & Childhood Trauma Counseling
Are you feeling pain from childhood trauma, complex trauma or C-PTSD? 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. Unresolved trauma can feel overwhelming. It can impact your relationships, sense of self, and how you relate with the world. If any of this sounds like your experience, you’re not 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 your relationship. 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. All relationships go through times where they could use support. I’d like to help. You don’t have to work through this alone.
