Therapy for Trauma
Maybe something happened. Maybe a lot of things. And you're not sure it even counts as trauma.
Maybe you've never called it trauma — because it didn't look like what you see in movies, because other people had it worse, because you're not sure it "counts."
It counts. If an experience changed the way you see yourself, other people, or the world — if it taught your nervous system that the world isn't safe — that's trauma. And it deserves real, compassionate care.
Feeling jumpy, on edge, or hypervigilant — always waiting for something to go wrong
Flashbacks, intrusive memories, or dreams about what happened
Avoiding people, places, or situations that remind you of the experience
Strong physical reactions that seem to come out of nowhere
Negative beliefs about yourself — that you're to blame, that you're not safe, that you're not enough
Shame, guilt, fear, or anger that feels bigger than the moment you're in
You don't have to earn the right to heal. You've been carrying this long enough.
How therapy works
Healing isn't about forgetting. It's about finally feeling safe.
Healing from trauma isn't about forgetting what happened or pretending it didn't matter. It's about your nervous system finally getting the message that you're safe now — and your life opening back up as a result. It looks like sleeping through the night. Like having a conversation without part of you scanning for danger. Like feeling connected to the people you love instead of watching life from behind glass.
It looks like shifting the beliefs you've carried about yourself — moving from shame and self-blame toward something that actually feels true: that you are not what happened to you. That you are capable. That you can trust yourself. Walking through the world without bracing for the next hit — still protecting yourself, but also connecting.
I use a range of trauma-informed approaches tailored to what you need, including EMDR — one of the most well-researched trauma treatments available. But before we ever approach difficult memories, we build a foundation of safety and skills together. We go at your pace. Always. You get to decide what we explore and when. Nothing happens until you are ready.
