Are the relationships in your life making you feel exhausted? Are you not feeling like yourself within those relationships or struggling with low self-esteem? This could be caused by relational trauma or unhealthy relational behavior patterns, which could lead to other mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. You may not have had or observed healthy relationships so communication, boundaries, self-love and expressing emotions may be difficult for you. It's never too late to develop these skills and improve your mental health. I specialize in working with people who have experienced relational trauma (DV, emotional abuse or narcissistic abuse) in their romantic, family or peer relationships and co-dependency (self-sacrificing in relationships). I've helped people heal from their trauma and re-learn how to have healthy relationships with themselves and others. I teach skills to improve your relational behavior patterns, coping, communication, conflict resolution, problem-solving, self-love, thought process and boundaries. I use an integrative, collaborative, trauma-informed approach to meet each client's unique needs and circumstances. I will never tell you what to do because I believe each person is an expert in their own life and I want each person to feel empowered. You've lived in your body and mind your whole life so you understand yourself better than anyone, but I am here to offer my knowledge about mental health, healthy relationships and self-development. I believe that people can learn to help themselves and learn healthier ways to interact with their environment so eventually, they won't need to come to therapy, but I'll always be here if you want/need to come back. There are always some things that can be learned to create the healthiest versions of ourselves.
