Trauma Therapy for Lasting Healing

Trauma-informed therapy using EMDR and IFS for deep-rooted healing and lasting recovery.

Trauma isn’t just what happened. It’s what stays with you long after the event has passed.

It lingers in your nervous system, your relationships, your sense of safety. Whether you’re coping with the effects of emotional abuse, complex trauma, or other painful life experiences, your response is not a weakness. It’s an adaptation. You found ways to survive.

Maybe you learned to stay small, stay quiet, stay strong. To read the room, take the blame, or never let your guard down. But if those survival strategies are now weighing you down and keeping you stuck in patterns of anxiety, shame, or disconnection, know this:

You can feel better again.

It’s time to move beyond surviving and into healing. You deserve to feel calm in your body, confident in your worth, and connected to who you truly are. And I’m here to help you get there.

How Trauma Therapy Can Help

Trauma can affect how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how safe the world feels. Even long after the experience has passed, trauma can show up as anxiety, disconnection, shame, or a sense of always being on guard. But healing is possible. You can feel more secure, more in control, and more like yourself again.

Together, we’ll begin to untangle the effects of trauma. We’ll help your nervous system begin to settle, explore the hurts that you’ve been carrying, and process the experiences that have shaped you. You can begin to feel more present and less burdened by the past. Things that once felt overwhelming can start to feel manageable so that you reconnect with a deeper sense of self, safety, and strength.

  • A powerful, evidence-based framework that helps you explore and heal the different “parts” of you that carry pain, fear, or protective roles. You'll begin to develop a compassionate relationship with these parts, rather than judging or shaming them. The goal isn’t to get rid of these parts, but to unburden them, so they no longer have to work so hard to protect you. Learn more about IFS and how it can support your healing in this blog post.

  • A research-backed method that helps you process traumatic memories in a way that reduces their emotional charge, without needing to re-live the trauma.

  • An evidence-based approach that helps you understand how trauma affects thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building tools to reduce distress, improve emotional regulation, and support healing.
