Hello, my name is Gina Nuñez. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Therapist and a Complex PTSD therapist. Complex PTSD stems from trauma over a long period of time, i.e child abuse/neglect. Trauma is a mental and physical imprint caused by extreme stress. Your fight, flight, or freeze response, is often activated if you live with trauma. Your body, mind, and emotions remain on high alert. When trauma goes untreated it can lead to low self-esteem, and a negative outlook on life, yourself and others. I can help you overcome your negative past to build a positive future. My email page on the website stopped working so email me.
