Life can be Hard—Healing Doesn’t Have to Be
Acute and Complex Trauma
Have you had something really bothersome happen? It could be you…
witnessed something awful
something awful happened to you
the awful thing didn’t happen, but it was a near miss, and you can’t get it out of your mind
you are struggling to sleep, eat, go to work, stay in emotional control, concentrate or just plain live your life
OR….was did you live a sort of normal childhood, on the surface, but it scared you.
…If any of the above applies to you, you may be experiencing a stress response.
Whatever it is that has happened, I will help you get on track. Each person is individual in what they need, but I have lots of tools to help. Whether its using Accelerated Resolution Therapy to help your brain clear the stress response, talk therapy, or helping you learn to calm your nervous system, symptoms of acute stress response and Trauma are treatable.
Co-dependency and Toxic relationships
I work with survivors of toxic relationships heal themselves. By understanding why we struggle with boundaries and people pleasing, we can start to untangle how we got into relationships to begin with. Usually with its roots in childhood, our brains work to protect us with our stress response. However, when the stress response is being activated, we (unfortunately) learn how self sacrifice can meet someone else’s needs, and thus protects us. Self sacrifice can become a part of our barter system for attention, safety, security and love. I help people untangle this web and get to living for themselves.
What to Expect
You can expect to feel heard. I will work to understand you. We will figure out the root cause of your discomfort so you can do something about it. Along the way, you’ll build body awareness, gain new insights into your life and start caring for yourself more. Your empowerment is possible.
You can live a better life.
