The current political and humanitarian climate might also be causing a sense of despair and re-trigger any past trauma or stress. My clients come to my therapy room to have a safe space to unwind, explore, rewire, breakdown, and find some grounding.

I work from a systems and psychodynamic perspective, which includes lots of childhood and family of origin exploration. I like to bring in somatic exercises and nervous system education to help educate on traumas impact on the body. With this type of therapy, your experience can be challenging since we are exploring so much of what built us up, but if you trust the process, it WILL be rewarding!
