Trauma Therapy
A safe, paced space to process what happened, at a speed your nervous system can actually handle.
You are not alone in this
Trauma is not only about what happened. It is about how it is still living in your body and mind now. Physically, that can look like a nervous system stuck on high alert, sleep problems, or being easily startled. Emotionally, it can mean numbness, difficulty trusting, or feeling disconnected from people who care about you. Cognitively, it often shows up as intrusive memories, difficulty concentrating, or a heaviness you cannot quite explain. None of this means something is broken in you. It means your nervous system is still trying to protect you.
How does trauma therapy help?
Every session is trauma informed and paced to your window of tolerance. I never push further or faster than feels safe. Drawing on EMDR training alongside CBT and DBT, I work with you to process difficult experiences so they stop running the show in the present.

FAQs About Trauma Therapy
You are not alone. Many people feel unsure before they begin.
No. You control what and how much you share. Trauma therapy can be effective without recounting every detail.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an evidence based approach that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. I will explain the full process before using it, and it is always optional.
More than single catastrophic events. Ongoing stress, neglect, discrimination, medical trauma, and relational harm all count. If an experience is still affecting you, it is worth bringing in.
That is a common and valid fear. I move at a pace that keeps you regulated, with tools to manage distress built in from the start. You are never left to sit in overwhelm alone.
