Healing Anxiety, Trauma, & Self-Doubt in Women & Teens

Currently accepting new clients for therapy throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, & South Carolina

Do you often feel like you’re struggling to get through the day or:

  • Trauma can lead to intense emotions, intrusive memories, concentration and memory issues, and difficulty trusting others, which can disrupt daily functioning and relationships.

  • You’re trying to find that sense of peace and happiness you once had, but it feels like it's out of reach.

  • No matter what you do, it feels like you’re missing something and can’t really fit in.

With the right support, you can actually start to feel better—because it really doesn’t have to stay this hard.

You’re walking around feeling triggered by trauma all the time and:

  • the flashbacks and nightmares are getting really old.

  • you feel frozen, ready to run, or ready to snap constantly.

  • you need the past to stop getting in the way of enjoying the “now.”

You’re a woman in her 20s, 30s, or 40s doing this adulting juggling act and:

  • the weight of expectations to balance relationships, personal goals, and self-care is leaving you completely exhausted.

  • the feeling of not measuring up to the curated lives you see online or the constant worry about the future is getting heavier.

  • you’re struggling to get out of bed or find motivation or purpose.

You’re a teen having a rough time with self-acceptance, sensory overwhelm, or making friends and:

  • You might feel misunderstood or different. It’s tough when others don’t get what you’re going through.

  • Simple tasks feel overwhelming. Things like staying organized or talking to people might you.

  • Your thoughts and feelings can be hard to control. It’s like your brain never stops, making it hard to focus or relax.
