Trauma Therapy
Trauma can leave you feeling overwhelmed, on edge, or disconnected from yourself - even years after the original experience. You might be functioning on the outside, but internally there’s tension, fear, shame, or exhaustion that won’t fully settle. Trauma therapy provides a safe and grounded space to make sense of what you’ve been carrying and begin to heal at your own pace.
“The world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
— Helen Keller
Trauma isn’t just the “big events.” It can also show up as the subtle, ongoing experiences that shaped how you see yourself and how you move through the world. This might include:
Childhood emotional neglect or instability
Relationship trauma or attachment wounds
Difficult or unsafe experiences in adulthood
Medical or birth trauma
Loss, grief, or sudden life changes
Patterns of shutdown, dissociation, or chronic anxiety
If you feel stuck in survival mode - hypervigilant, overwhelmed, disconnected, or ashamed of your reactions - it doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means your nervous system has been doing its best to protect you..
How Trauma Affects Your Day-to-Day Life
Trauma can influence how you think, feel, react, and relate to others. You may notice:
Feeling “on edge” or easily overwhelmed
Difficulty trusting yourself or others
Patterns of people-pleasing or shutting down
Intrusive thoughts or memories
Avoidance of certain places or situations
Chronic self-doubt or perfectionism
Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected
A sense that you’re “too much” or “not enough”
These are not personal failings — they are the body and mind doing what they learned to do to survive.
My Approach
My trauma therapy work integrates:
EMDR for reprocessing stuck trauma
Nervous system regulation to help your body feel safer
Parts work/Inner child work to heal younger, protective parts
Attachment-focused therapy to rebuild trust and connection
Somatic awareness to help shift patterns held in the body
This approach goes beyond talk therapy - it supports your system in healing on a deeper, more integrated level.
What healing can look like
With time, clients often begin to feel:
More grounded and less reactive
A deeper sense of safety in their bodies
Clearer boundaries and stronger self-trust
Less shame and more compassion
More connection in relationships
Relief from old emotional patterns
The ability to move through life with more confidence and ease
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting what happened, it means no longer feeling defined by it.

You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or deeply impacted by past experiences, trauma therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and feel more grounded in your day-to-day life.
