Renée Sage

Much of what we call distress is not pathology but history. The mind and body remember what earlier circumstances demanded. We do not tighten around emotions, dissociate, withdraw, or overperform because we are weak. We do it because, at some point, it was necessary to survive. Therapy provides space for slow, intentional attention — where defenses loosen not through force, but through recognition.
I am passionate about supporting those recovering from the effects of complex relational trauma, which can manifest in injured self-trust, nervous system dysregulation, or self-protective defenses. Turning inward to meet your buried wounds is daunting—and profoundly human. It's my honor to meet you in the rhythm of your healing.
