Trauma 

At your own pace, you will explore what causes you distress and despair. Traumatic experiences tend to have deep roots and can become debilitating when they threaten our stability and daily functioning. If you believe that your life has been affected by traumatic incidents, if you feel stuck or frozen, if you experience anger, guilt, nightmares and other sleep disturbances, if you have intrusive thoughts or flashbacks, racing thoughts, intense anxiety or your perception of reality feels different than before, you will benefit from treatment.

You will learn what trauma is and how it can impact your life and your relationship with others. You will discover what happens in your body, including your brain, and what adverse reactions or undesirable behaviors and habits occur as a result of traumatic experiences.

I will support you in obtaining the tools you need to emerge from pain and trauma in an empathetic, safe and comfortable manner. We will work together toward restoring balance and stable functioning, identify strengths and reconnecting you with parts of yourself that you may not recognize or have forgotten. You will learn ways to establish healthy coping habits and strategies. You will be supported in analyzing your thinking process and find out how certain thoughts and beliefs can affect your emotions and your mood causing you to find yourself in undesirable situations.

In therapy, you will gently engage in the healing process of restoration and recovery.
