WORKPLACE STRESS & Trauma
Do You ever feel that something is holding you back, no matter how hard you try to move forward?
On the surface you appear to have it all together but beneath, there's a hidden struggle—an inner turmoil that others can't fully see or understand.
You know something needs to change…you’re just not sure what.
CONNECT TO THE PROFOUND WISDOM INSIDE OF YOU
Your brain has the ability to adapt and rewire itself in response to new experiences, thoughts, and behaviors. By nurturing the connections between brain and body and by learning the language of neurobiology, patterns that are getting in the way of living your best life… can be changed.
welcome! i’m stacy.
Your worth is beyond measure.
Clients often describe our work as 'magical'—it feels that way because we tap into the body’s innate wisdom, leading to profound change without the need to focus only on - “the stories”. This process leads to shifts in perception, deeper emotional regulation, and a greater sense of ease. While this can be challenging—real, raw, and vulnerable—it’s also liberating and empowering. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and understood, with kindness, empathy, and thoughtful directness, helping you unlock your inner potential.
SPECIALIZING IN:
01
Stuckness & emotional dysregulation
Sometimes it is hard to explain but you know something doesn’t feel right. You might be aware that you continue to repeat patterns but your efforts haven’t created lasting change. “Stuckness” in neurobiology occurs when the brain locks us into unproductive and distressing patterns—despite our best efforts to change. Shifting these patterns within the nervous system leads to lasting change.
02
Trauma & Complex Trauma,PTSD,Vicarious
Your pain is real, and it matters. Trauma touches all parts of your being—emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual—it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and at times powerless and out-of-control. The impacts of trauma are deeply personal—there’s no “right” or “wrong” way to experience it—there is no measuring tool saying your distress isn’t valid because someone else may have had it worse. You are not weak, lazy, or broken. Trauma symptoms arise from our nervous system’s response to events and stressors. You are not in this alone, together we can restore balance and wholeness.
03
SUPPORT for therapists
Therapists, I see you. You pour your heart into holding space for others, absorbing the weight of their pain while quietly managing your own. It's a profound calling, but it can take a toll. To continue this important work with passion and resilience, it's vital to prioritize your own nervous system regulation and emotional support, allowing you to renew your energy, prevent burnout, and find greater ease in your life.

WORKPLACE STRESS & Trauma
I understand how overwhelming it can be when you’re juggling workloads, cultures with unclear expectations, navigating challenging colleagues, etc… These pressures can chip away at your energy, confidence, and well-being, leaving you drained and uncertain. Together we will rewire your brain to challenge outdated neuro-patterns, so you can build cutting-edge emotional intelligence skills so you can thrive, not just survive
There are many ways we can experience trauma at work, from boundary violations, to harsh criticism, to feeling trapped. Additionally, sometimes our jobs require us to be face to face with traumatic conditions, Strategies like mind-over-matter, or “tough it out” frequently don’t work because we can’t think our way out of traumatic experiences. Together we will help you build new neural networks to integrate past experiences and real-time tools for current stressors.
