Trauma Therapy
Trauma can shape how we relate to the world, our bodies, our relationships, and our sense of safety. For many people, the impacts aren’t just memories — they show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting, persistent shame, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Whether you’re coping with PTSD, complex PTSD, relational or developmental trauma, or experiences that are hard to name, trauma therapy offers a space to make sense of what happened with compassion and without pressure.
My approach is body-based, relational, and grounded in modern trauma science. I draw from modalities like IFS (Internal Family Systems), Somatic Experiencing, and attachment therapy to help clients gently build capacity, meet protective parts with respect, and move toward more regulated and flexible nervous system states. As a therapist with several years of dedicated trauma experience, much of my work is with LGBTQIA+ clients and people of color, and I am attentive to the cultural, systemic, and relational layers that shape trauma and healing.
Trauma therapy doesn’t mean recounting every detail of your past — it’s about building safety, strengthening internal resources, supporting your nervous system, and helping you reclaim a connection to meaning, choice, and belonging. If you’re unsure where to start or you’ve tried therapy before and felt stuck, you’re not alone. Our work together will move at your pace, with collaborative goals, curiosity, and spaciousness for whatever arises.
“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”
— Dr. Peter A. Levine, Founder of Somatic Experiencing
