unburden and reclaim
Therapy for individuals and couples
in person in Burke and throughout Virginia via telehealth
Stop pretending everything is okay…
You want to feel excited about your life…
but instead you feel…
Exhausted from trying to cope. This is not the life you want.
Depleted from showing up for everyone except you.
Sad, frustrated, terrified...can this relationship survive this?
Paralyzed by anxiety, overwhelm, and faking it. You can’t keep this up.
Sleepless, unhappy, anxious…it’s just too much.
Oh You have tried the breathing exercises…
✓The meditation apps
✓The positive affirmations
✓ The hot baths with essential oils
✓Yoga, journaling…even talk therapy
You may have read the books, tuned into the podcasts, spent hours doom scrolling…researching
You understand your trauma intellectually and maybe you even know why you react the way you do…
Yet your body is still living in survival mode and it’s exhausting.
But you know what no one told you?
You can't think your way out of a nervous system response and you can’t breathe your trauma away.
There’s another way and it’s more powerful than you can imagine.
There is nothing wrong with you
During conflict - your freezing, dissociation, fear, shutdown, anxiety, flight…
that’s not a disorder.
that’s self-protection.
You have a nervous system that adapted to survive.
Which is absolute freaking brilliance… but now it needs an update.
