Trauma can change the way you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world around you.

Maybe you feel constantly on guard, disconnected from yourself, overwhelmed by emotions, or unsure why certain situations affect you so strongly. You may avoid people, places, and objects that remind you of what happened, struggle to trust others, have difficulty feeling safe in close relationships, or find yourself reacting to situations in ways that seem bigger than the moment calls for.

You may also have done a lot of work to understand what happened and still feel like something inside you hasn't caught up.

Knowing that something is in the past doesn't always mean your mind and body experience it that way.

Trauma can leave behind patterns of protection that once helped you cope but may now make it difficult to feel present, connected, or fully engaged in your life. Healing involves more than simply telling yourself that you're safe or trying to stop thinking about what happened.

Trauma therapy doesn't have to mean immediately retelling every detail of what happened. In our work, we'll focus on creating enough safety and stability to explore your experiences at a pace that feels manageable. We'll pay attention to what happens not only in your thoughts and emotions, but also in your body and nervous system.

I integrate somatic approaches, psychodynamic therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other evidence-based interventions based on your needs and goals.
