Trauma therapy is a process of helping your mind and body feel safe again. When something overwhelming happens, it can leave lasting effects—like anxiety, disconnection, intrusive memories, or difficulty trusting yourself or others. Therapy helps you process those experiences, so they no longer have the same hold on your present life.

In our work together, we move at a pace that feels manageable for you. Some sessions may focus on understanding patterns, building coping skills, and creating a sense of stability. Other times, we may gently process past experiences, so they feel less intense and more integrated.

I draw from several evidence-based approaches to tailor therapy to your needs:

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

• EMDR helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories, so they feel less overwhelming and more like something that happened in the past rather than something you’re still reliving.

Prolonged Exposure (PE)

• PE supports you in gradually facing memories, feelings, or situations you may have been avoiding, helping reduce fear and increase a sense of control.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• ACT focuses on helping you relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, while moving toward what matters most to you.

Person-centered therapy

• Person-centered therapy ensures that our work is grounded in empathy, respect, and a genuine understanding of your unique experience.

Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I integrate these methods based on what feels most helpful for you. Some clients benefit from structured trauma processing, while others need more time building safety and self-understanding first. Knowing each client’s differences aides in growth and recovery.
