You may be feeling overwhelmed, no matter what you do, the memories, tension, or sense of unease just won’t let up. Maybe you’re on edge, easily startled, or finding it hard to relax. Perhaps you feel numb or detached from the people you care about—or the past keeps intruding on your present through flashbacks, nightmares, or sudden waves of emotion. If you’re exhausted by the weight of trauma, distressing memories, or emotional disconnection, you are not alone. I work with adolescents, adults, and families to navigate the effects of trauma, post-traumatic stress, and emotional pain with compassion and clarity.
