Do you feel like you are unable to calm? Do you feel anxious and judged by others? Do you feel restless, irritable, and stuck in "on" mode in this ready-to-react mode? Do you have persistent negative thinking, emotional fluctuations, and repeating the same actions and patterns? Do you feel stuck and unable to lift your mood? These are among some of the many symptoms of trauma. Trauma changes the nervous system and the ability to regulate our nervous system is directly correlated with our mental health. EMDR, CBT, DBT, and Somatic therapy can help heal the nervous system, by processing and releasing trauma stored in the body.
As a client-centred therapist I take a holistic and collaborative approach that is integrative of other therapies, as I believe everyone is unique and therapy is not "one size fits all." Together we can help untangle your thoughts and feelings, helping you better understand yourself and how your life experiences have impacted you.
I understand life is full of challenges making it hard to cope; some symptoms we feel and experience can be tough. Starting therapy is a courageous act deserving of celebration. It's a powerful step toward self-improvement and self-compassion. You're not alone on this journey; you deserve support and should celebrate being here, prioritizing your well-being.
