Do you struggle to come to terms with things that happened in the past?
Maybe you…
Find yourself people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, or striving for rigid perfectionism.
Feel constantly anxious or agitated.
Become overwhelmed by your emotions.
Struggle to form healthy relationships or feel unable to fully trust others.
Feel like you’re stuck in the past, even when you want to move forward.
Regardless of what has led you to seek support, you know that you need a therapist who…
understands that trauma's impact extends far beyond the original event.
Can truly see and honor the complexities of your experience.
Recognizes and supports your whole person.
Healing is possible. With the right tools and support, you can begin to move beyond overwhelming emotions and unhealthy patterns and find greater peace in your life.
How I can help:
Some trauma therapies focus primarily on revisiting or reliving traumatic events through exposure-based approaches. While this can be helpful, it can also feel overwhelming or even re-traumatizing.
Other approaches may overlook the body’s role in holding trauma, missing important parts of the healing process.
My approach focuses on the ways trauma disrupts your sense of safety, connection, and presence in your body and relationships.
Together, we work on rebuilding that sense of safety by helping you reconnect with your internal wisdom, understand your emotional responses, and develop tools to feel more grounded and in control of your life.
Each step of therapy is tailored to your unique experiences and pace.
My approach to trauma therapy is rooted in empowerment: supporting you in listening to your body, trusting your instincts, and understanding how trauma has shaped your life so you can move toward lasting healing
Frequently Asked Questions
-
There is no single threshold that defines trauma. Trauma occurs when an experience or series of experiences overwhelms the nervous system. Because people process events differently, something that is traumatic for one person may not affect another in the same way.
If something in your past feels traumatic to you, your experience deserves care and attention
-
Yes! Sometimes trauma is one identifiable event. Other times it develops through repeated experiences, such as chronic stress, relational harm, or ongoing instability.
Trauma can also be passed intergenerationally through family patterns, cultural experiences, and even biological responses.
-
Yes. Our brains and bodies have many ways of protecting us from things that feel too overwhelming. Even if you don’t consciously remember certain events, your body may still carry emotional or physiological responses.
In therapy, we move at a pace that feels safe. Some memories may become clearer over time, while others may not—and both experiences are valid.
