Introduction

Suffering in silence underneath stoicism, armoring and 'staying strong' are effective strategies to bear the unbearable for small, short-lived doses in order to do your job. When those strategies become all that you know and feel, your life can become unbearable for you and the people you love most. I specialize in working with clients who want to get better, feel better and be better by working through and resolving the impacts of accumulated or acute traumatic stress. The individuals with whom I've worked: experience relief from: -a chronic sense of threat, danger, or impending doom (especially when in general public settings) -nightmares, poor sleep quality -a chronic desire to isolate and a sense of aloneness -a sense of dullness, numbness, lack of motivation -a chronic sense of dread, despair or hopelessness -a negative outlook on life and gain: -more aliveness -greater capacities to better understand themselves and more effectively relate to others -better sleep -more energy -increased internal peace and solitude -a reconnection back to themselves -a sense of hope and possibility for themselves and their future If you or someone you love is suffering with similar symptoms and want help building greater capacities for resilience and wellbeing, contact me and we can work together to better understand, work through and heal the areas within you that have been impacted by complex traumatic stress.
