You’ve Been Holding It Together for a Long Time
Do you look successful on the outside while feeling like you’re barely keeping it together on the inside? Do certain situations, sounds, or moments send your body into high alert before your mind can even explain why?
Trauma Lives in the Body, Not Just the Memory
Whether you experienced a single overwhelming event or years of experiences that taught you the world wasn’t safe, trauma changes how your nervous system responds to life. That’s not weakness. It’s biology.
Your mind and body adapted to protect you. The problem is that those protections often stay switched on long after the danger has passed.
Feeling constantly on edge, irritable, or unable to relax
Intrusive memories, nightmares, or flashbacks
Emotional numbness or feeling disconnected from yourself
Avoiding people, places, or conversations that stir something up
Difficulty trusting others or letting people get close
Shame, self-blame, or a harsh inner critic that never quiets down
How I Work With Trauma
With ten years of clinical experience specializing in trauma treatment, I bring a warm, structured, and evidence-based approach to this work. Healing happens at your pace. We never rush into painful material before you have the safety and grounding to process it.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) — a powerful, research-supported therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they lose their emotional charge
Attachment-based therapy, which explores how early relationships shaped your patterns of trust, connection, and self-protection
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift the beliefs trauma left behind, like "I'm not safe" or "It was my fault"
What to Expect When We Work Together
A free 15-minute consultation. We talk by phone about what's bringing you in, and you get a feel for how I work. No pressure, no commitment.
Building safety first. Our early sessions focus on understanding your story and strengthening your grounding and coping resources. You set the pace. Nothing gets opened before you're ready to work with it.
Processing at your speed. When you're ready, we work directly with what you've been carrying, using EMDR, attachment work, CBT, or a blend, depending on what your history calls for.
Reviewing progress together. We regularly check what's shifting: sleep, reactivity, relationships, that background sense of threat. Therapy should show its work, and we make sure it does.
What Healing Can Look Like
Clients often tell me the change sneaks up on them: the memory that used to hijack their whole day becomes just a memory. They sleep through the night. They stop bracing for the worst. They feel present with the people they love.
Trauma treatment isn't about erasing the past. It's about finally putting the past where it belongs, so it stops writing your future.
