Healing complex trauma and sexual trauma so you can feel more empowered and connected.

Memories continue to come up that you have been trying to forget but nothing is working.

Complex trauma and Sexual trauma can impact every part of our lives, we can feel shame, sadness, confusion, guilt, anger, we can feel totally overwhelmed and disconnected at the same time. It messes with the way we trust ourself, feel safe and the comfort we have in connecting with others. It is so natural for our brains to cycle through any way we could have changed something to not experience it. Our boundaries get blurred and our understanding of ourself and our identity can get shaken.
