Addictions and trauma can have negative impacts on individuals and families. They can also be opportunities for growth and healing. In a safe environment, I work with clients to identify their inherent ability to heal and grow from the impact of addiction and trauma in their life. Trauma activates and impacts the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, and can cause the reasoning part of the brain to go offline, making it difficult to talk about feelings and thoughts around the trauma. I have found that sand tray and action methods help clients clarify and narrate their experiences. While I currently don't accept insurance, I work with clients on a sliding scale ($50-$120).
