Trauma Therapy & PTSD Counseling
Compassionate, Trauma-Informed Support for Healing and Recovery
Healing from Trauma with
Professional Support
If you’re living with the effects of trauma, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it alone. Whether your trauma comes from a single event or long-term experiences like abuse, neglect, or loss, it can leave deep emotional wounds that affect your daily life, relationships, and sense of self.
Trauma therapy offers a safe, supportive space to process your experiences, build coping tools, and move toward healing. With the right support, recovery is possible.
What Is Trauma?
Trauma is your body and brain’s response to a distressing or overwhelming event. It can impact you physically, emotionally, and mentally—even long after the event has passed. Common sources of trauma include:
-
Childhood abuse or neglect
-
Domestic violence or relationship trauma
-
Sexual assault or harassment
-
Sudden loss, accidents, or natural disasters
-
Medical trauma or chronic illness
-
Combat or first responder experiences
My Approach to Trauma Therapy
I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach tailored to your unique needs and healing pace. My therapy methods may include:
-
Somatic experiencing and body-based techniques
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for trauma and PTSD
-
Inner child and parts work
-
Mindfulness and nervous system regulation tools
Together, we’ll work to release trauma from the body, reduce emotional overwhelm, and help you reconnect with your sense of safety, worth, and self.
