Terrible things happen to people all of the time. And sometimes, those wounds last far longer than we could ever imagine. Trauma is one such wound, and it can feel earth shattering. 

 

Fear echoes through time when trauma is involved, and those that find themselves trapped in it feel it as freshly as when it first occurred, often reliving moments frozen in time over and over.

 

The beauty can be found in that trauma, when viewed from a different perspective, can turn pain into growth. What happened never goes away, but how you live your life, on your terms, can change everything. 

 

I have dedicated a great deal of my professional counseling career to identifying and healing stress and trauma. Acquiring the CCTSI (Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist-Individual) Certification attests to my passion and learning of the essential components for safely and effectively treating traumatic stress with individuals.
