Whoever said “Time heals all wounds” clearly never experienced trauma. When you face something so painful that it feels like it leaves a permanent mark on you, time doesn’t just make that go away. The good news is, healing is possible. You don’t have to suffer like this forever. As a mental health therapist, I work with people who have experienced deep hurt from other people. Maybe it was a parent who never seemed to have time for you. A spouse who belittled you. That family member who violated you. Or the friend who abandoned you.
The wounds they left cut so deep, and now you’re scared to trust others because what if you get hurt again? A part of you wants to let your guard down, but you're still unsure. Through trauma-informed counseling, we can work together to create an atmosphere where you feel safe enough to process the wounds time hasn't healed.
I utilize evidence-based therapy approaches like EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help you experience change in ways you never could on your own. If you’re tired of the way things are, let's talk. I'd be honored to walk alongside you and help you go further on your journey toward healing and peace.
