Do you sometimes feel as though you are trapped in your own head? Do you feel disconnected from the present moment, unable to experience profound connection, relaxation, and joy because you are dwelling on the past or worried about the future? Have you “worked through” difficult past experiences in traditional therapy, but still feel as though your problems continue to linger? If you found yourself nodding while reading any or all of these questions, you may have unresolved trauma affecting your nervous system. Using specialized techniques that target the nervous system, I can help you release that trauma once and for all.

Hello, my name is Matthew. Trauma occurs due to many reasons such as our occupation, abusive past, or it may be a single incident that has occurred ex: vehicle accident, witnessing a violent incident, also trauma varies for each individual. We accumulate trauma over time, we have been taught to stuff these down and drive on. At some point this becomes too much. I can work with you by going back and working through the trauma to help lesson the impact to your daily life. And we can work together to get you closer to living a happier life.

As human beings, we all experience stressors throughout our lives and some of us endure traumatic experiences, which can lead us to feel hopeless and broken at times. Even in our darkest hours we have unique strengths that can be temporarily lost within the storm. We all have the choice and power within to find healing and to ultimately change ourselves and our situation in the process. When we cannot find the answers in the world around us, it is time to look within.

“Our scars can destroy us, even after the physical wounds healed. But if we can survive them, they can even transform us.
