Healing from trauma is possible — at your own pace, without reliving everything.

Trauma doesn't always come from one dramatic event. It can come from chronic stress, childhood experiences, loss, relationship harm, or anything that overwhelmed your ability to cope at the time.

It can show up years later as anxiety, hypervigilance, difficulty trusting, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, or a persistent sense that something is wrong — even when things look fine from the outside.

How trauma therapy works here

Trauma-informed therapy means your safety comes first. You're in control of the pace. You don't have to go to the hardest places in the first session — or ever go somewhere that doesn't feel safe.

My approach to trauma work is:

• •Non-judgmental and compassionate — no version of your experience is "too much" or "not bad enough"
• •Paced by you — we go as slow or as steady as you need
• •Grounded in evidence-based approaches to trauma processing

For children who have experienced trauma, play therapy provides a developmentally appropriate way to process and heal.
