Does this at all sound familiar?
Life can feel manageable one moment, only for anxiety to take over the next—often rooted in deep, unresolved experiences like past trauma, attachment wounds, or chronic sleep struggles. This isn’t just stress; it’s an intense response to hidden pain that others might not fully grasp.
Well-meaning advice like "just stay positive" can feel dismissive, leaving you feeling isolated, detached, or emotionally numb. Activities that once brought joy may now seem distant, and you may feel disconnected or uncertain of who you truly are.
Unresolved trauma often shows up as relentless anxiety, hypervigilance, intrusive thoughts, avoidance, trouble focusing, disrupted sleep, or sudden waves of dread. You might feel trapped by flashbacks, low self-worth, trust issues, or a sense of disconnection—common yet profound impacts of a trauma response.
If this resonates, know you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can work on healing the trauma, improving sleep, and addressing your body’s unique needs, helping you find relief from distressing symptoms and reclaim a sense of control—in a way that feels right for you.
Life Doesn’t Have To Stay This Way. Let’s Change It Together.
Hello, I’m Priscilla, and I’m here to help.
Life can throw curveballs with lasting impacts, but you don’t have to face them alone. I specialize in helping individuals unravel the complex emotional challenges that trauma and anxiety create, often intertwined with sleep issues. Using a blend of therapeutic care and practical tools, we’ll rebuild your resilience, restore restful sleep, and find a path that feels right for you.
I understand how anxiety, trauma, and insomnia can deeply affect your life. My approach combines psychological support with nutritional insights to address trauma, identify triggers, and explore symptom patterns. Together, we’ll create a healing path at your pace, whether you’re dealing with flashbacks, hypervigilance, or sleep disruptions.
For those preparing for bariatric surgery, I offer evaluations focused on emotional readiness, providing support and resources to guide you through this transformative journey.
How I Can Support You
Trauma Therapy
We’ll work together to uncover the trauma contributing to your anxiety, whether it stems from a single incident like a car accident, natural disaster, or sexual assault or from more complex experiences of ongoing abuse and neglect. Together, we’ll develop practical tools to manage symptoms and help you heal from the shock or long-lasting effects of trauma.
Insomnia Therapy
Using evidence-based strategies, we’ll work together to improve your sleep quality, whether your insomnia is rooted in trauma, anxiety, or a standalone issue. We’ll address the underlying causes through tailored techniques and help you develop healthy, lasting sleep patterns.
Bariatric Psychological Evaluations
I’ll work with you to ensure your psychological readiness for surgery, helping you navigate this significant life change's emotional and mental aspects. I’ll offer support both before and after surgery to foster long-term success, addressing concerns such as emotional eating, body image, and maintaining motivation for healthy lifestyle changes.
