Down and Out?
Do you find yourself struggling with a sense of brokenness? Have you lost hope, joy, and trust in the possibility that things will improve? Do you feel disconnected from the world? Is depression stealing your ability to move forward? Is your inner critic screaming “YOU ARE A FAILURE!”?
Freaking Out?
How we help
While there is no one-size-fits-all solution to healing, there is a brain-based, science-based therapy that is proven to work. This model views all symptoms and behaviors as survival strategies that once made sense but may no longer be helpful. Yes, every symptom and behavior make sense within the context of your life experiences. Your story makes sense. It’s not your fault. Conditions like depression, anxiety, stress, chronic pain, grief/loss, PTSD, addiction, and interpersonal difficulties often result from nervous system dysregulation. We’ll work together to make sense of your unique situation through this perspective.
Stressed out?
When the stress response is left incomplete, or overwhelms us, our nervous system becomes “stuck” in a dysregulated state, manifesting as anxiety or depression. These symptoms are the body’s way of signaling for help, much like a “check engine” light in a car. Our approach is integrative, focusing on the nervous system’s role in our well-being. Both childhood and adulthood experiences can trigger the stress cycle in our nervous system. Like digesting food, we must process these stressful encounters; otherwise, they remain trapped in our bodies, resulting in ongoing symptoms. Our society often encourages us to ignore these bodily signals. Through learning to complete the stress response and process past traumas, your moods, behaviors, and unhelpful thought patterns will positively transform.
