Life can sometimes feel out of control. Stress, fears, guilt, and sadness can overwhelm you. Your relationship may be suffering, and you can’t find enjoyment in things that used to make you happy. You may put up a front to avoid burdening others, but end up feeling alone and disconnected.

The worst part may be that voice inside that keeps telling you that you are not good enough, you did something wrong, are powerless or unsafe. It’s not enough to just know these thoughts are irrational – you want to feel it in your soul.

There is hope. I focus on applying the most evidence-backed therapies that have been shown to heal – not just manage – wounds caused by the past that push these painful thoughts and feelings.
