Therapist Overview
We all bear wounds of some kind. Everyone has a unique life story to share. I became a therapist to listen to others’ stories of pain, and work with them to find light in their darkness. For 15 years, I have worked with individuals and families that have suffered from wounds inflicted by others, as well as emotional harm that may be self inflicted. Trauma and dysfunctional family patterns, or damaging thoughts- such as shame, anxiety, and self-defeat- may serve as examples of these wounds. The weight of unresolved emotional and mental pain can be both limiting and exhausting. But there is hope, and these wounds can be mended. I will assist in examining underlying events and thoughts that have opened your emotional wounds. We will work together through the grieving process, leaving behind the lies of dysfunction, while restoring your true value and purpose in life. I invite you to take the next step toward increased understanding as you begin or continue the healing process. I pledge to create the safe, compassionate, non-judgmental atmosphere needed to facilitate the mending of your emotional wounds.
