What Trauma Therapy Can Address
Trauma can affect every aspect of life, often showing up in unexpected ways. You may find yourself struggling with:
Flashbacks, Nightmares, or Intrusive Thoughts: Unwanted reminders of the past that make it hard to feel present.
Emotional Dysregulation: Overwhelming emotions like anger, sadness, or anxiety that feel difficult to manage.
Hypervigilance or Fear: Feeling on edge, constantly anticipating danger, or unable to relax.
Disconnection from Self or Others: A sense of numbness, isolation, or difficulty trusting others.
Uncertainty Around Identity: Feeling unsure of who you are or struggling to reconcile different aspects of your identity.
Fear of Failing in Life: Anxiety about meeting expectations, finding purpose, or feeling “enough.”
Negative Body Image: Struggles with shame, disgust, or disconnection from your body.
Physical Symptoms of Trauma: Chronic pain, fatigue, or other bodily signs of unresolved trauma.
I also specialize in helping clients navigate trauma tied to:
Sexual Abuse: Healing from the deep emotional and physical scars left by unwanted or non-consensual experiences.
Childhood Neglect or Abuse: Understanding and addressing the long-term impacts of early experiences.
Narcissistic Abuse or Toxic Relationships: Rebuilding self-trust and boundaries after manipulative dynamics.
Racialized and Intergenerational Trauma: Unpacking the weight of systemic oppression or family patterns.
Spiritual Abuse or "Church Hurt": Processing the pain of restrictive teachings or manipulative faith communities.
My Trauma Therapy Approach
Healing from trauma isn’t about forgetting what happened—it’s about freeing yourself from its grip and reclaiming the parts of yourself that feel lost. I work collaboratively with you, tailoring therapy to meet your unique needs while using evidence-based and holistic approaches to foster deep, lasting healing.
Trauma-Informed Care
Your safety, consent, and comfort are at the center of everything we do. I’ll guide the process at your pace, ensuring you feel supported as we explore difficult memories or emotions.
Mind-Body Integration
Because trauma lives in the body, we’ll work with somatic practices, gentle movement, and mindfulness techniques to help you reconnect with and feel safe in your body.
EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
This powerful, evidence-based approach helps you process and reframe painful memories so they lose their emotional intensity and power over your life.
Expressive and Creative Therapies
Art, journaling, and other creative tools can help you access emotions and insights that words alone may not reach.
Parts Work and Ego-State Therapy
By exploring and nurturing the different parts of yourself, we can heal internal conflicts and foster self-compassion and integration.
Healing Through Connection
Trauma often leaves us feeling isolated or unsure of how to connect with ourselves and others. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered. Our work will focus on:
Releasing Shame: Letting go of self-blame and guilt tied to your experiences.
Regaining Control: Building tools to manage triggers, overwhelming emotions, or negative thought patterns.
Reclaiming Your Life: Strengthening your sense of self and creating a life aligned with your values, goals, and desires.
Special Focus Areas
I provide specialized care for clients navigating:
Sexual Abuse Recovery: Addressing the complex emotional, physical, and relational impacts of sexual trauma.
Body Image and Identity: Cultivating self-acceptance, reconnecting with your body, and exploring your sense of self.
Inner-Child Work: Exploring the unmet needs, emotions, and beliefs formed during childhood to nurture healing, self-compassion, and a sense of safety. Together, we’ll reconnect with the younger parts of you that may still hold fear, sadness, or shame, creating space for empowerment and integration.
Racial and Intergenerational Trauma: Understanding how systemic oppression or family patterns impact your experiences and finding ways to heal and break cycles.
Spiritual Abuse or "Church Hurt": Reclaiming your spiritual or religious identity free from shame, fear, or manipulation.
Narcissistic Abuse Recovery: Healing from the emotional scars of toxic relationships while rediscovering your identity and self-worth.
