COMPLEX TRAUMA
& PTSD
You're disconnected from your own life..
Right now, your safety is in the small comfortable box you’ve created to hold yourself together.
​You're either feel lost in a fog or on edge like something terrible might happen. It’s hard to shake the feeling that you might lose everything good in your life.
There’s a sense that you’re still a kid. You interact with adults but the feeling that you're a child lingers in the background as if you haven’t fully grown up yet.
It might feel like your needs and even existence are a burden in the lives of those close to you.
These are signs that complex trauma and the impact of childhood abuse and neglect shows itself in your life.
The past blends with the present so you might often feel activated and have mental stories around yourself, relationships and life choices.
At the root of complex trauma is disconnection. It creates disconnection (disassociation) from your Self, from others and the world around you. It’s a disconnection from your intuition and innate truth.
The path to healing is about reconnection.

BENEFITS OF THERAPY
The power to be who you truly are in this lifetime
The repair and healing happens as you build a relationship with yourself and improve the relationships with those around you. There’s more of *you* present in your interactions.
Our intention is to learn how to increase your ability to stay present with your emotions, sensations, thought patterns and experiences to build awareness. This awareness creates choice.
​
The power of feeling you have choices in our work together, your daily life and the path you create to move forward.
We’ll explore how to move toward and feel the pain so that you process it without getting stuck there. To learn to move through your emotional experiences with support.
​
The path forward needs language, context and understanding around your past experiences to help separate them from your present. You can use this information in the moment so that you respond to yourself differently when activated.
​
This work isn't solely to learn to cope but to live! The goal is to enhance life-to experience joy and pleasure - to be embodied, alive and innately yourself.
​
To separate from the identity created from trauma and step into your power, intuition and freedom that’s at your core.
YOUR PAST DOESN'T DEFINE YOU
I believe in the union of holistic and scientific practices so that you can heal from trauma on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.
​
​As a somatic-trauma informed therapist, I’ll gently guide you to deepen your mind-body connection so that you gain the skills to identify your physical sensations, emotions and thought patterns that need your attention. Somatic therapies are a safe way to heal from the past without the risk of re-traumatization since our practices help keep you present, rather than opening old wounds.
This connection with your body, mind and soul leads to empowerment so that you experience personal growth and transformation.
