Tranquil Waters Counseling LLC

Are you tired of being told to just "try harder" or "let it go"? Living with PTSD or ADHD can feel like running a marathon with no finish line. Standard therapy often misses the mark because it doesn't account for the unique ways trauma and neurodivergence impact your nervous system. At Tranquil Waters Counseling, I specialize in helping individuals who are dealing with: • Chronic Overwhelm & Executive Dysfunction: Struggling to start tasks, organize your day, or feeling paralyzed by a never-ending to-do list. • Emotional Flashbacks & Hypervigilance: Feeling constantly on edge, easily triggered by relationships, or hijacked by past traumas that refuse to stay in the past. • The Exhaustion of Masking: Draining your energy trying to appear "normal" and holding it together for the rest of the world. • Nervous System Burnout: Feeling utterly depleted, misunderstood, and disconnected from your own body and needs. You don't need a therapist to "fix" you; you need a collaborative partner to help you untangle the survival responses that are no longer serving you. My Therapeutic Approach • Together we will move beyond basic talk therapy by utilizing evidence-based modalities designed specifically for trauma recovery and ADHD management. • Internal Family Systems (IFS): Together I will help you understand and heal the different "parts" of yourself—especially the inner critics and protectors that developed to help you survive PTSD. • Trauma-Informed CBT: Together I will work together to identify the deeply ingrained thought patterns that fuel anxiety and executive dysfunction, replacing them with practical, brain-based strategies. • Existential Exploration: I will hold space for you to rediscover your authentic identity, purpose, and values underneath the layers of trauma and neurodivergent masking. (Note for prospective clients: Tranquil Waters Counseling is a proudly affirming space for the LGBTQ+ community. All identities, backgrounds, and neurotypes are deeply welcome and respected here.)
