Treating Various Issues

Exposure to chronic and highly stressful traumatic situations is known to impact mental health and well-being in a myriad of ways, often resulting in burnout, PTSD, and/or shame.

Hidden, buried, and/or unresolved traumatic experiences combined with other past life events such as childhood abuse, sexual assault, divorce, etc., have known accumulative effects. These effects eventually interfere with one’s ability to perform their assigned role and duty on or off the job.

Past or present traumatic events can be processed safely with the appropriate treatment providing a path for hope and relief.
