What is Trauma Therapy?
Trauma therapy offers tools to regulate your nervous system, process painful memories, and rebuild a sense of safety, connection, and self-trust.
In our work together, this might include:
- Mind-body techniques to help you stay grounded in the present
- Gently exploring trauma narratives without retraumatization
- Somatic and mindfulness-based practices to release stored tension
- Resourcing skills to build emotional safety and resilience
We’ll go slow, honoring your readiness and your right to feel in control.
What is PTSD and Complex PTSD?
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) can result from a single traumatic event, while Complex PTSD often stems from prolonged or repeated trauma, especially in early relationships.
Common symptoms may include:
- Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive memories
- Hypervigilance or feeling constantly on edge
- Emotional numbness or disconnection
- Intense shame, guilt, or self-blame
- Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in relationships
Trauma therapy can help you begin to understand and shift these patterns—not by erasing your past, but by transforming your relationship to it.
Who is This For?
This work is for anyone navigating the impacts of trauma, including:
- Survivors of assault, abuse, or violence
- People with developmental or relational trauma
- Individuals who’ve experienced medical or birth trauma
- First responders, veterans, or those exposed to systemic trauma
- Anyone who feels stuck, unsafe, or disconnected from themselves
Trauma may shape you, but it doesn’t define you. Healing is possible.
