Trauma Therapy 

Trauma can have profound and lasting effects on a person’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being, impacting the very core of identity and self-worth. Whether trauma stems from a single event or ongoing adversity, its effects may surface in many ways—nightmares, avoidance of certain situations, anxiety, fear, emotional overwhelm, or dissociation. These reactions are your body and mind’s way of trying to protect you, even when the danger has passed.

​

Individuals who have experienced trauma often face a higher risk of mental health challenges such as PTSD (intrusive memories, flashbacks, hypervigilance), depression (hopelessness, loss of interest, suicidal thoughts), dissociation (emotional numbing, feeling disconnected), and anxiety (racing thoughts, panic, avoidance).

​

One of the greatest barriers to healing is the silence and stigma that often surround trauma. Many people fear judgment, disbelief, or retaliation, which can prevent them from sharing their stories or seeking support. Breaking this silence is a crucial step toward healing.

​

Trauma therapy offers a safe, compassionate, and supportive space to gently explore these experiences and begin the healing process. I often integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy that helps process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge. Together, we will work to soothe your nervous system, restore your sense of safety, and reclaim your strength, connection, and hope for the future.

If you are coping with the impact of trauma, you are not alone.
