Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy may be for you if… You’re carrying the weight of a past experience—whether it’s childhood adversity, a sudden loss, or surviving sexual abuse and sexual violence—and it’s starting to take over your everyday life. When you’ve been through hard things, your brain gets overwhelmed, trapping that old stress right in your nervous system. It leaves you living with your guard up, constantly overthinking, and feeling totally exhausted. You might notice sudden triggers, a heavy dose of anxiety, or deep-rooted negative thoughts about yourself that make you feel like you're constantly falling short.
That is where specialized trauma therapy comes in. It’s a gentle approach to help you untangle those deep, heavy emotions so your mind and body can finally realize you are safe right now.
What it actually looks like in our sessions:
We create a safe space to gently move past avoidance: It is completely natural to want to avoid the things that hurt, but hiding from them keeps you stuck. Together, we will build a sense of safety that allows you to face those heavy moments without feeling overwhelmed or flooded.
You get practical tools for real-life relief: You’ll learn actionable grounding strategies so you can safely navigate sudden triggers, quiet the negative self-talk, and handle the hard moments outside of our sessions.
I tailor the tools to your unique story: We don't just talk in circles. I blend traditional support with evidence-based practices—specifically EMDR to process frozen memories and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) to reshape distressing thought patterns—targeting the root of the distress so you can get relief and move forward.
