How I Approach Trauma-Therapy
Trauma affects the whole person — mind, body, emotions, and relationships. My therapeutic approach is grounded in warmth, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I work with you to understand your symptoms, reduce distress, and build strategies that support long-term emotional health.
Treatment is always paced and tailored to your needs, ensuring your safety and comfort throughout the process.
Evidenced-Based Care
I rely on treatments supported by clinical research and proven to help trauma survivors heal. My approach blends structured evidence-based modalities with compassionate, trauma-informed care.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and beliefs connected to trauma.
This approach builds awareness of patterns that keep you stuck and offers tools to develop healthier, more balanced ways of thinking, feeling, and responding.
Somatic-Informed Work
Trauma often lives in the body. Somatic-informed strategies help you notice and regulate physical reactions — such as tension, rapid heartbeat, or shutting down — so your nervous system can return to a sense of safety.
These skills support grounding, emotional regulation, and reconnecting with your body in a healthy, empowering way.
Mindfulness-Based Approaches
Mindfulness helps you stay present, reduce reactivity, and build awareness of internal experiences without judgment.
These practices support emotional balance, decrease anxiety, and help you feel more in control of your responses.
Nervous System Education & Regulation Tools
Understanding your nervous system can make trauma symptoms less frightening and more manageable.
I teach tools that help regulate your system — including breathing strategies, grounding exercises, and skills to reduce hypervigilance — so you can regain a sense of stability and control.
Exposure-Based Strategies (When Appropriate)
For clients ready to work through specific trauma triggers, I use exposure-based interventions at a pace that feels safe and collaborative.
These evidence-based methods help reduce avoidance, fear responses, and trauma-related distress over time.
A Collaborative, Trauma-Informed Process
My treatment approach emphasizes:
- Safety — emotional and physical
- Trust and transparency
- Empowerment and choice
- Cultural sensitivity and respect
- Clear structure without pressure
- Tools that support real-world functioning
Healing is not linear, and there is no “right speed.” We work together to build resilience, increase insight, and help you reconnect with a strong, grounded version of yourself.
