Trauma Recovery

Trauma has many causes.

Sometimes, we think of trauma as resulting from significant events, like war, raging storms, injury, or loss of life from injuries, or some other event that stays fixed in your mind.

Other causes of trauma can result from suddenly finding out that your spouse is being unfaithful or wants a divorce. Losing your job or having difficulty finding employment can seem devastating.

Whatever the cause, some traumatic events remain with you, making you stay constantly on alert for some other terrible event to occur.

Perhaps, you might encounter an event that triggers the past trauma that you experienced, making you relive it once again.

Therapy can help you conquer trauma’s impact.

Trauma leaves an imprint on the mind and body.

Whether the experience comes from a single event, ongoing stress, or childhood adversity, the effects can linger, shaping how one thinks, feels, and relates to others.

I offer trauma-informed therapy that creates safety, honors your pace, and integrates approaches like Brainspotting and Animal-assisted Therapy when helpful.

Our work focuses on helping you process difficult memories, regulate your nervous system, and rebuild a sense of control and connection.

Healing is possible, and your story matters.

In trauma recovery work, we will work to identify and reduce triggers that create emotional and physical responses to past trauma.

I will help you develop grounding and self-regulation skills, process and integrate traumatic memories, and address shame, guilt, or self-blame.

Through therapy, you can reconnect with hope and possibility and put the effects of trauma behind you.

You don’t have to face trauma alone. This is a healing journey that we will take together. Contact me for more information about my approach to treating trauma.
