EXPRESSIVE ARTS THERAPY

Trauma Therapy for Young Women & Teen Girls

I help teens and young women who struggle with things that have happened in their past without blame, shame, or forcing you to talk about something before you are ready. I also help young women establish healthier boundaries and settle in to the person that they really are.

My clients struggle like you do. Despite being a deep thinker, a good listener, and a caring and creative person, life is hard. When they first come into therapy they feel like the bad memories will never stop coming, that sleep will never be back to normal, and that they may never trust anyone again.

My clients repeatedly get into relationships where they feel like they are giving more than they are getting. They are the friend who will always be there for others, but often feel like they are losing themselves in the process.

They feel alone, tearful, embarrassed, and like no one really understands them. They worry that someone will find out about what happened to them and see them differently, or worse, blame them for it. They worry about what people think of them even though they give off an “I don’t care” vibe.

They want to have healthy, meaningful relationships but worry that if others really knew them, they would push them away.

Their stress and sadness gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t the kind of friend, partner, employee or student they want to be. They still have big dreams of what they want their lives to be but their confidence that they can actually get there is fading away.

Before they came to see me, they thought they would never feel better, never “get over it” and never be able to move on. They felt like everyone else seems to be doing better than them. They worried that therapy wouldn’t work and they were pretty sure that they would feel this misunderstood for the rest of their lives.

There was no way this random lady (that’s me!) could possibly “get” them enough to be able to help them actually feel better about what has happened to them. Like my clients, you deserve to put behind you the terrible things of your past and get back to feeling like yourself again. Having fun and laughing for real is not out of your reach. If you want to know in your soul that you have value and are worth it, I’d love to help you get there.

Call now. You don’t have to suffer. I can help.
