Do your emotions feel overwhelming? Worry that you will never be able to handle them? Ever notice that you have trouble being in your body because it is so uncomfortable? Having trouble showing up for yourself when you really need to? Are your closest relationships frustrating? Struggling to feel like yourself around others? Feeling anxious, not fully knowing why? Maybe your thoughts are constantly pulled away from the present, and you have trouble concentrating? Yeses to a few of these questions could be related to complex trauma (repeated exposure to highly stressful events), and relief and progress can come from our work together.

Mental wellness and recovery through Intention Path Counseling looks like understanding what happened, how it feels in your body and what to do about it in the present. Understanding what may be making this more aligned space complicated and/or difficult is essential too. How do we do this? Early work increases your knowledge and awareness. Then, knowing your values and preferences, we can sort out what is not working. These unhelpful patterns can be related to complex trauma. Authentic healing is then possible using this clarity and deeper work to access your path to what it is that you want. I usually serve you best as a guide to yourself and what you hope to gain from your life.

Feeling capable and clear on your path is so important because most likely, you spent some time feeling helpless and trapped with people and in circumstances that did not work for you. Maybe you even thought it was your fault. If we compare these people and places to locks, we want to find you the keys-not leave you where there are just more locks holding you back.
