You are not what’s happened to you. You are so much more.
Therapy for trauma
Have you been carrying the weight of what happened?
Trauma can show up in small and persistent ways, affecting your body, emotions and thoughts long after the experience is over. You may notice heightened reactivity, feeling disconnected from yourself or others, intense emotions or negative beliefs about yourself. These responses are common and normal. They are your body and mind trying to protect you.
Maybe you’re here because…
You feel on edge or easily startled even in safe spaces
You find yourself freezing, shutting down or dissociating
You carry negative beliefs about yourself or your worth
You struggle to feel fully present in your body
You keep reliving the past
You’re ready to reclaim your body, your safety and your story.
How therapy works
Therapy can help you process and move through trauma safely.
In sessions, we focus on noticing how your body, thoughts and emotions respond to past experiences. Using evidence-based interventions from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and somatic therapy, we help you track physical sensations, process difficult memories and practice ways to respond to triggers differently.
You’ll gain tools to calm your nervous system, shift unhelpful beliefs and feel more grounded in the present.
Therapy is collaborative. You set the pace, and I’m here to guide and support you. We explore strategies together and discover what works best for you.
Therapy for trauma can help you…

Reduce hypervigilance, anxiety and intense emotional reactions
Understand and shift negative beliefs about yourself
Reconnect with your body and let go of what no longer serves you
Feel more like yourself again
Frequently asked questions about trauma therapy
FAQs
-
Trauma isn’t defined by the event itself, but by how your mind and body respond. Any adverse experience that feels overwhelming, threatening or unsafe and has a lasting negative impact can lead to trauma. This can include things like accidents, loss, abuse, neglect or ongoing stressors such as microaggressions or discrimination. Trauma can show up in your body, emotions and relationships, sometimes long after the experience itself has passed.
