Grief is an expression of love. Everyone responds to trauma, loss and death differently.  When an adverse event begins to color your experience of life in overwhelmingly dark ways, it may be time to embrace support from a therapist.  

Our brains are designed to store memories in a region that allows us to manage distressing thoughts.  At times, the memories become "stuck" causing images, thoughts and feelings associated with fear and pain to take over, haunt and disable us.  The goal of therapy is to move memories into the their proper place in the brain.

Working in the trauma field has taught me about Post-traumatic Growth.  I have witnessed the power of many children, adolescents and adults emerging from trauma and loss with newly acquired strength and wisdom.  Partnering with you to navigate a comfortable pathway out of pain would be an honor.
