Do you feel constantly overwhelmed and on high alert? Are you struggling to complete day to day tasks? Having a hard time sleeping? Do you find that you get anxious, angry or sad easily and don’t know how to stop your body from reacting this way? If you answered YES to any of these questions trauma therapy is the treatment option for you.

Trauma causes our system to become easily overwhelmed and it can react with emotions such as anger, anxiety and low mood. You will learn strategies to help regulate your system and help calm it down when it’s overwhelmed. You’ll also learn why your experiences have the affect they do on your system and understand how to manage this so it doesn’t impact your day to day functioning.

Are you struggling with your self-esteem? Have you been in an unhealthy, toxic or abusive relationship? This can leave you feeling helpless and without direction. You might struggle to create and manage boundaries or not have any at all. You might end up losing your ability to connect to others and feel that your relationships exist on a superficial level. This can lead to anxiety and a feeling that you are not safe. Your body might be spending signals to your brain that are misinterpreted.

My practice aims to help you regain confidence, reestablish connections and rebuild a sense of safety. We will explore your relationships with yourself and the people most important to you. You will learn how to regulate your emotions in order to feel safe. With this skill, you will be better equipped to help your child regulate their emotions too.

I will meet you where you are at and we will develop a treatment plan to help you achieve your goals. The therapeutic relationship we establish will be a safe space for you to explore how to be yourself again and set healthy boundaries.
