Compassionate therapy that heals from the inside, out.

Trauma therapy is not about forcing you to relive painful experiences or pushing you to move faster than you are ready for. It is about creating a space where your experiences can be understood with care, and where healing can happen at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

In our work together, we focus on:

• Understanding how trauma has shaped your experiences and responses
• Gently processing past experiences when you feel ready
• Reconnecting with your body and emotional awareness
• Building tools to support nervous system regulation
• Strengthening your ability to trust your instincts and set boundaries

I integrate trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR, Parts and Memory Therapy, somatic work, and person-centered therapy so we can work with both the emotional and physical impact of trauma.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-focused therapy that helps the mind and body process experiences that may feel “stuck” or unresolved.

When something overwhelming happens, the brain does not always fully process the experience. This can lead to ongoing distress, such as anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or feeling emotionally triggered in situations that don’t seem to match the present moment.

EMDR works by helping your brain reprocess these experiences in a way that allows them to feel less overwhelming over time. Rather than focusing only on talking through events, EMDR supports your nervous system in processing what has been carried for a long time.

This approach is structured, collaborative, and always guided by your pace. You are not expected to share more than you feel ready to, and we move forward in a way that feels safe and manageable.

Many clients find that EMDR helps reduce the emotional intensity of past experiences, allowing them to feel more grounded, present, and connected to themselves.

Parts & Memory Therapy is a trauma-informed approach that helps you understand the different “parts” of yourself that may have developed through difficult or overwhelming experiences.

When someone has experienced trauma, it is common for the mind to organize those experiences in a way that helps protect and cope. Over time, this can lead to feeling conflicted internally—part of you may want to move forward, while another part feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure.

This approach helps us gently identify and understand those parts with compassion, rather than judgment. Instead of trying to push them away, we work to understand what they have been trying to protect and what they may need in order to feel safer.

We also explore how certain memories may still feel unresolved or activated in the present. Through this work, those memories can begin to feel less overwhelming, allowing you to feel more grounded and more connected to yourself.

Our work together is always collaborative and paced in a way that feels safe and manageable. Over time, many clients begin to experience a greater sense of internal balance, self-understanding, and emotional stability.

Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between your mind and body, helping you understand how your experiences may be held physically as well as emotionally.

When you have gone through trauma or ongoing stress, your nervous system can remain on high alert, even when you are no longer in danger. This can show up as anxiety, tension in the body, feeling disconnected, or difficulty feeling fully at ease.

Somatic work helps you gently reconnect with your body and notice the sensations that may be connected to your experiences. Through this awareness, we can begin to support your nervous system in finding a greater sense of safety and balance.

This approach is not about pushing you beyond your comfort. It is about slowing down, noticing what is present, and building your capacity to feel more grounded over time.

As we integrate somatic work into therapy, many clients begin to experience less reactivity, more emotional stability, and a stronger sense of connection to themselves.
