Currently accepting new clients for virtual sessions, daytime availability! Trauma, stress and anxiety are definitely no fun - they can wreak havoc on our minds and bodies. These are all things that live in the body and can dysregulate our nervous systems. They can show up as spiraling thoughts that are difficult to turn off, seemingly random emotional outbursts and uncomfortable physical symptoms such as fatigue, restlessness, tension, chronic pain or digestive issues. Maybe you’ve tried avoiding the stressors, shutting down your thoughts, venting to a friend or just pushing through, but none of this really seems to be helping.
