Understanding Trauma
When something overwhelming or frightening happens, the mind and body can react in ways that feel confusing or out of control. Trauma can affect thoughts, emotions, relationships, sleep, attention, and the nervous system.
These reactions are not signs of weakness — they are the brain’s way of trying to protect you.
Healing becomes possible when these reactions are understood, normalized, and supported with evidence-based tools.
My goal is to help you feel safer, more grounded, and more in control of your emotional world.
Evidenced-Based Treatment
I use several research-supported modalities to help clients process trauma, understand their symptoms, and develop healthier, more empowered ways of coping.
Each treatment is tailored to your pace and your needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you identify thoughts that contribute to distress and shift patterns that keep you stuck in fear or self-doubt.
Through CBT, you learn to recognize unhelpful thoughts, challenge them, and replace them with healthier beliefs that support emotional healing.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
CPT is a specific form of CBT that helps you understand how trauma has shaped your beliefs about safety, trust, power, control, self-worth, and relationships.
This therapy reduces guilt, shame, self-blame, and other trauma-related beliefs that often interfere with recovery.
Prolonged-Exposure Therapy (PE)
PE is designed to reduce trauma-related fear through gradual, supportive exposure to avoided memories, emotions, or situations.
This modality helps weaken fear responses, decrease avoidance, and increase your sense of safety and control.
Siomatic and Nervous-System-Informed Strategies
Trauma affects the body as much as the mind.
I integrate grounding exercises, breathwork, and body-awareness skills to help regulate the nervous system, reduce hypervigilance, and create a sense of internal safety.
These tools help you reconnect with your body in ways that feel safe, supportive, and empowering.
Mindfulness & Present-Moment Awareness
Mindfulness therapies help reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and increase resilience.
These practices teach you to observe your internal experiences without judgment and respond with clarity instead of overwhelm.
Healing Is Not Linear - And You Don't Have to Do It Alone
Trauma therapy is a collaborative process.
My role is to provide a supportive environment, walk with you at a comfortable pace, and offer evidence-based treatments that help restore safety and strengthen your ability to handle life’s challenges.
