Sojourn Psychotherapy supports survivors of trauma, neglect, grief, and prolonged stress. Teens, men, and women, millennials and Gen-X who have grown up in dysfunctional family systems, and feel the effects of systemic patriarchy and capitalism. This might look like anxiety, depression, complex trauma, BPD, attachment issues, family and interpersonal conflict, dissociation, and infidelity. Trauma shows up in the body, nervous system, beliefs about oneself and the world. Maybe you hate your job, people pleasing, question your marriage, are frustrated you carry a heavier load, or have experienced a Big T-trauma like assault.
Looking for something a little bit different? I offer experiential approaches alongside talk therapy. Jungian Sandplay therapy (yes-for adults!), attachment focused EMDR, Embodied Experiential Dreamwork for nightmares and/or any pieces of a dream remembered, post-psychedelic/plant medicine integration, and Sound Therapy.
Resiliency isn't just mindset-it's behavioural, and community based. I am here to facilitate your journey and connection to self. Jung said, 'Often the hands will solve a mystery that the mind has struggled with in vain.' Stress and trauma interrupt memory consolidation. Integrating body based or experiential modalities can help to regulate and change.
