Understanding Trauma

Trauma is not just what happened to us — it's how our nervous system responded to what happened. Many people carry trauma histories that they understand intellectually but still feel in their bodies, relationships, and daily lives. Trauma therapy helps you process these experiences so they no longer control your present.

Who It's For

Trauma therapy is for anyone who has experienced overwhelming events — whether a single incident or ongoing circumstances — and finds that the effects continue to impact their life. This includes childhood trauma, accidents, abuse, neglect, and other difficult experiences.

What to Expect

Trauma work moves at your pace. We'll build safety and resources first, then gradually process difficult experiences using approaches that help your nervous system integrate what happened without becoming overwhelmed.

My Approach

I use trauma-informed approaches that honor your nervous system's wisdom. This includes somatic techniques, mindfulness-based interventions, and approaches that help you process trauma without retraumatization.

Signs of Unprocessed Trauma

Flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting, relationship challenges, physical symptoms, and feeling stuck despite understanding what happened.

How Trauma Therapy Can Help

Many people who have experienced trauma find themselves in a frustrating place: they understand what happened to them, they can talk about it, they may have read books and done research — yet they still feel controlled by their past. The body remembers what the mind tries to move past.

Trauma therapy helps you work with your nervous system, not just your thoughts. By processing traumatic experiences in a safe, contained way, we can help your body and mind integrate what happened so it no longer triggers the same responses.

Getting Started

I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your trauma history and see if we're a good fit. Trauma work requires trust and safety, so we'll take time to build that foundation before diving into difficult material.
