Therapy for Trauma

Trauma is a fact of life, but it does not have to be a life sentence.

You feel like you aren't "getting over it" like you wanted to or expected to.  Maybe you don't even call it "trauma" because the experience doesn’t meet some kind of standard for pain, you might say it "isn't serious enough.” But that fact is: if it felt traumatic, it was traumatic.

These wounds still need healing. 

 

 

You are ready to lessen the power the trauma has over you.

​

Trauma leaves a lasting imprint that can affect us throughout life.

 

You may not realize how impactful these experiences were at the time, or you may know this very well. You try to distract yourself and not think about it because it was a “long time ago” or “doesn't matter anymore, it's over.” You are able to move through the days, achieve things you’ve set out to do; and, somehow those experiences keep memories their way back to you.

 

Maybe you feel like you are going through the motions but not really living.

 

You tell people ‘I'm doing okay,” but you know it's all a facade. You’ve been through something and you’re still carrying around the hurt. Other people may not see it, but you have deep wounds that weigh heavy on you.

 

​

Is trauma therapy right for you?

Do you:

  • Question “why now? I thought that was in the past.”

  • Feel on edge and trouble controlling your emotions

  • Feeling guilt and anxiety when you prioritize yourself

  • Have challenges in your relationships with yourself, your partner, children, parents, friends, or co-workers

  • Feel the need to be “perfect” and having high expectations for yourself and others

  • Experience your past memories coming up when you’re not expecting it

  • Have a hard time saying no

What happened to you doesn’t have to define the rest of your life.

There is still possibility for new beginnings.

 

Trauma therapy helps you tend to your wounds so they don’t take possession over your behaviors anymore.You learn to practice responding in a way that aligns with your values and gives you back control. I know that you are resilient and I believe when you can feel safe enough to talk about and process the hard stuff you can begin to heal.

 

I am here with you every step of the way, and help you tap into your strengths to lessen the power trauma has over you. 

“Trauma creates changes you don’t choose. Healing is about creating the change you do choose”

It's time to find peace. 
I'm here to help you.
