Nervous System Dysregulation
Nervous system dysregulation can feel like your body is either constantly on edge or completely shut down, often without a clear reason. You might notice anxiety, overwhelm, numbness, irritability, fatigue, or difficulty settling even when life appears manageable. Many people arrive here holding more activation than their system has space for while still trying to function day to day. From the outside things may look steady, but internally it can feel exhausting and hard to regulate.
-
• Feeling constantly on edge or easily overwhelmed
• Difficulty calming down after stress
• Shutdown, numbness, or low energy
• Irritability or emotional swings
• Racing thoughts or mental fog
• Trouble sleeping or waking feeling unrested
• Heightened startle response or tension in the body
• Avoidance, procrastination, or feeling stuck
• Sensitivity to noise, light, or busy environments
• Feeling disconnected from your body or surroundings -
This work is for adults who notice their nervous system shifts quickly into overwhelm, shutdown, or reactivity and want steadier ways to move through daily life.
It can be a fit for people living with chronic stress, anxiety, trauma history, burnout, or periods of prolonged pressure who feel their system has had little time to recover.
This approach focuses on building awareness, regulation skills, and capacity over time rather than quick fixes. It is well suited for those who want practical support, collaborative pacing, and a way of working that includes both mind and body.
The goal is not to eliminate stress entirely, but to help your system feel more adaptable, less reactive, and better able to return to baseline after activation.

How Therapy Helps
Therapy focuses on helping your nervous system build stability, flexibility, and recovery over time. We work to notice patterns of activation and shutdown, strengthen regulation skills, and increase your system’s capacity to handle stress without tipping into overwhelm. Sessions may include conversation, somatic awareness, and brainspotting, always paced collaboratively. The aim is not to force change, but to support steadiness, clearer signals from your body, and a greater sense of internal control.
What Sessions are Like
Sessions are grounded, collaborative, and paced to support your nervous system. There is space to talk and space to slow down, paying attention to what your body and mind are doing in real time. The work is practical and present-focused, with an emphasis on building tools you can use outside the therapy room. Over time, sessions tend to feel less about managing crises and more about creating steadiness and choice in everyday life.
