Therapy for Trauma
Can trauma therapy help me?
A common experience after trauma is being worried that your trauma doesn’t “count” or wasn’t “bad enough.” At the same time, you might be feeling like your world is closing in. You’re more hesitant and the places you want to go are getting fewer and farther in between. Whatever the event, relationship, or situation you’ve been through, my office is a place to explore and heal. My clients have described feeling able to engage more fully in their lives after treatment, feeling less controlled by past situations, and feeling more connected to what matters to them. Reach out for a free consultation call today, where I can answer any questions you have.
How Trauma Might Show Up in Your Life
-
Unwanted sexual experiences can bring up a lot of emotions and thoughts, and often these feel confusing and sometimes conflicting. I provide a nonjudgmental space to explore your experience and work toward healing both your brain and your body. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques and work with you to create a safe and supportive environment. We will work to build your resiliency and to empower you with effective coping strategies.
-
Relational trauma, whether from early parental figures, romantic partners, or others in your life, can negatively affect your current relationships with both others and yourself. These experiences often change how we relate to others far after the trauma has passed. This looks different in every relationship, romantic or platonic. I help individuals struggling with these impacts, which can show up as codependency, trauma-bonding, self-sabotaging, anxiety, depression, and more.
-
Do you notice yourself insisting on doing things yourself and feeling uncomfortable asking for help?Hyperindependence can be a common trauma response, particularly from childhood experiences of trauma. I will support you in exploring where this shows up for you and learning to trust others In order to with the goal of helping you form and maintain healthy and fulfilling relationships.

Trauma’s impact can be passed down through the generations. Whether this is through demonstrated behaviors and emotions, genetics, or through shared experiences of discrimination, I am here to help. We will work together to uncover the layers of your and your family’s experiences and to help you process these through approaches tailored to you and your needs.

Complex trauma results from prolonged exposure to multiple traumatic events, often interpersonal in nature, such as abuse or neglect during childhood. It can lead to profound psychological and emotional challenges, including difficulties with emotion regulation, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships. Together, we can overcome these challenges and create a life you cherish.
-
Acute trauma refers to a single, sudden, and often life-threatening event, such as an accident, natural disaster, or assault. It can result in immediate distress and may lead to symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance. My approach helps you to process and overcome the impacts of these events.
