Trauma Therapy  


Does the past seem to be controlling you?

Do you wake up each day feeling burdened by your past? Are past experiences impacting your decisions, relationships, and how you view yourself? You might find yourself trapped in a cycle where the past constantly intrudes on the present, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and helpless.

Here are some common experiences you might be facing: 

  • Feeling like the past has control over your life and decisions

  • Struggling to trust others and maintain healthy relationships

  • Trying to cope with nightmares, flashbacks, and other distressing symptoms of trauma

  • Struggling with feelings of shame, guilt, or unworthiness

Processing through trauma can feel scary and overwhelming and I’m here to provide a safe space where you can heal at your own pace. Together we’ll focus on reclaiming control from your past and rediscovering your sense of self. My goal is to support you in cultivating resilience and empower you to envision and build a future where your past no longer dictates your path.

How Trauma Therapy Works

In our sessions, our primary focus will be on creating a safe and supportive environment where you can explore and process your experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, we will strive to understand how past events have shaped your life and uncover the ways these experiences continue to impact your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

My goal is to empower you to regain a sense of control and strength. We’ll work together to identify and understand the symptoms you may be experiencing such as flashbacks or nightmares and develop techniques to help manage these challenges. We'll explore strategies for coping with triggers, building resilience, and fostering a renewed sense of self-confidence.
