Trauma Therapy

​Recovering from trauma is weird. 

Sometimes the lingering distress is just a low hum in the background, and sometimes it hits you like a ton of bricks. 

 You’re getting more disconnected from yourself and from loved ones.

I should be able to fix this, you think. After all, other people have it worse than I did.

But you can’t fix it alone, and part of you knows that your experiences were pretty damn bad. 

Trauma happens to you—it is not something wrong with you.

You’re realizing how dissociated you are.

You may be moving through life numb and checked out, wanting to change but not sure how to. 

Those compulsive quick fixes take the edge off for a bit, but you know they’re not actually helping you.

Trauma and PTSD symptoms come in all kinds: strong emotions you can’t manage, unexplained physical issues, sleep problems, hypervigilance. Maybe you’re dealing with unhealthy patterns that you just don’t know how to escape.

You’re a spectator of your own life, watching it slide further and further away from where you want to be.

Trauma therapy for all of you.

It’s time to stop invalidating yourself and get the support you deserve.

You need a therapist who can hold space for the complexities of your identity. That’s me.

There is no judgment here. Nothing you say will scare me off. I’ve heard it all, and I’m ready to hold your story too,

As we build trust, trauma therapy will provide a space for you to explore sensations, feelings, and ideas at your own pace.

We’ll use gentle somatic tools to help your body learn what it’s like to be grounded and calm.

We’ll support the parts of you holding those big, scary feelings.

And you’ll create your own narrative about senseless acts of cruelty you’ve experienced.

As we explore together, we will hold in awareness the way our sociocultural systems perpetuate trauma.

You can build safety and connection.

Whether you’re struggling with a one-time event or many years of traumatic experience, I can help you reclaim your truth and discover your inner ability to heal. 

I support PTSD and trauma using IFS therapy, existential therapy, and Brainspotting and other somatic practices. 

Using more than one type of trauma therapy helps us address the way trauma affects your whole system.

Releasing all that stuck pain creates space for life-giving activities: creativity, caring relationships, embodied movement, joyful community engagement.
