Trauma Therapy

I believe everyone deserves to live a happy, fulfilling life. I also understand that trauma can make that feel difficult, or even out of reach at times. Trauma therapy is one way I help individuals heal, reconnect with themselves, and reclaim a sense of peace, balance, and well-being.

Trauma can affect emotional, mental, and physical health in lasting ways. Whether it stems from abuse, loss, accidents, or other distressing experiences, Trauma can show up as anxiety, intrusive memories, emotional overwhelm, physical tension, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others.

I offer trauma-informed therapy tailored to your unique experiences, with the goal of reducing the intensity of trauma-related symptoms and helping you move forward with greater ease and clarity.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

• What it is: EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process and heal from traumatic memories using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements.
   
• How it helps: EMDR works to reduce the emotional, mental, and physical charge connected to distressing memories, allowing them to be integrated in a way that feels less triggering and overwhelming.
   
• Symptoms it can address: Flashbacks, anxiety, depression, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, physical tension, and more.
   

Emotional Healing
Trauma can lead to intense emotions like fear, anger, sadness, or numbness. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to process these emotions at your pace. 

Result: Improved emotional regulation, reduced reactivity, and increased self-compassion.

Mental Clarity
Trauma can impact concentration, memory, and thought patterns. Through therapy, you can begin to untangle unhelpful beliefs and reduce intrusive thoughts.
Result: Reduced anxiety, clearer thinking, and a stronger sense of self.

Physical Relief
Trauma often lives in the body, showing up as tension, fatigue, or chronic stress. Trauma-informed approaches help the body release stored stress and move toward regulation.
Result: Less physical tension, improved sleep, increased energy, and overall relief.

• Identifying and processing the emotional and physical impacts of trauma
