Trauma Therapy
Helping you lead a more fulfilled and empowered life.
WHY ME?
YOU FEEL LOST, POWERLESS, HOPELESS.
YOU QUESTION IF THE INTERNAL BATTLES YOU FACE WILL EVER END.
Part of you feels you are unlovable and can’t trust anyone, and if you do, you will be left to fend for yourself. You’ve built your walls so high no one will ever be able to hurt you again, but in doing so, you’ve closed yourself off from life. You question everything and live in constant fear. Your natural state is fight or flight, where you never truly relax.
You want to find love for yourself and acceptance for the things you cannot control. You are trying to figure out how to trust again. You want to feel safe in your body, mind, and soul. You’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work. You are determined to do whatever it takes to heal. If you don’t, the pain will eat you alive. You are ready to be free from the past.
You’re prepared to:
- Be vulnerable and ask for support.
- Take a risk and seek professional help.
- Be open and raw with your experience.
- Listen for guidance and learn how to trust the process.
- Change your outlook and accept new ways of viewing the world.
- Journey into the unknown to uncover your true potential.
- Invest in yourself, knowing whatever you’re willing to commit to will return a hundredfold.
No Longer a Slave to the Past.
“One day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through and it will be someone else’s survival guide.” – Unknown
Navigating the throws of trauma can be overwhelming. Not only do you try to stay afloat with many daily life tasks, but you often battle an invisible wound that keeps festering below the bandage you try to cover the pain with.
Overcoming the past doesn’t have to be complicated. You can be strong-willed, determined, and still ask for help. Even though parts of you would rather do it alone because you struggle to trust anyone else, you know deep down that choice will lead you down the same dead-end road you already know so well.
Most often, because trauma begins and ends in relationship, that is also where healing takes place. No matter how hard you try to move forward, if the cycle isn’t resolved in relationship, you’ll most likely be caught in an endless loop. Together, we can unravel the ties to the past in a safe container so you can create new connections with yourself and others that will attract the enduring health and freedom you seek.
You don’t have to let pain turn your heart into something ugly. You can show the world that surviving can be beautiful and not a life sentence.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT ARE TRAUMA THERAPY SESSIONS LIKE?
In our initial sessions, we will explore the challenges that have led you to seek therapy, delve into your personal history, and establish clear objectives for our work together. As a therapist, I adopt a practical and direct approach, actively engaging in our conversations to assist you in attaining your goals.
In trauma therapy we have a past present and future focus. We help you process and understand your past difficulties, learn to engage with the present, and enable you to develop resources for the future through self-empowerment, vulnerability, and courage. There are many proven techniques people employ to treat complex trauma. Our job is to distill this information, so you can focus on healing and have support along the way.
HOW DO I KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK FOR ME?
While I cannot offer absolute assurances, I want to emphasize that I firmly believe in the potential for growth, healing, and transformation. These positive changes are a constant presence in my daily work, evident in the progress and improved relationships of my clients.
Consistently, research has emphasized the pivotal role of the client-therapist relationship as a key factor in predicting successful therapy outcomes. It’s for this reason that I provide a complimentary consultation, allowing both of us to determine whether I am the right fit to support your journey toward a positive outcome.
HOW LONG IS THERAPY?
The duration of your therapeutic journey is influenced by several variables, such as your availability, the dynamics of your daily life, the specific nature and urgency of your concerns, and your active participation in the therapy process between our sessions. Existing research indicates that most therapy clients typically experience substantial clinical progress within 12 to 15 sessions, and I hold similar expectations for our collaboration. Some individuals successfully complete their therapeutic goals within this timeframe, while others discover a continued benefit in the therapeutic process and choose to extend their sessions. My primary objective is to assist you in achieving your goals as promptly as possible.
WILL A DIAGNOSIS BE GIVEN?
You have the option to opt out of receiving a diagnosis. Diagnoses will be given solely upon your request, primarily for the purpose of facilitating reimbursement claims with your healthcare insurance provider. Any diagnostic information will be the subject of conversations between you and your therapist, serving the objectives of treatment planning and potential referrals to relevant specialists.
