Trauma Therapy
  • Trauma
  • Trauma leaves echoes. It can shape how you see the world, how your body feels, how you trust, or don’t. Whether your trauma is from a single event or years of accumulated experience, it deserves care that’s both gentle and steady. Trauma manifests holistically, affecting the nervous system, other aspects of our physiology, and our emotional state. A safe therapeutic healing space conducive to restoration and processing can help with symptom management and overall wellness. Trauma sits there and waits until we are ready to process it. Sometimes, we are finally ready to look at and process old wounds. Other times a recent event or loss needs immediate attention.

  • Anxiety and Stress
  • As with grief, anxiety often is an intrinsic part of trauma holding and processing. We’ll get curious about how your anxiety operates, what it’s trying to protect you from, and how we can quiet the alarms. It doesn’t have to run the show. Learning tools for anxiety and fear management and nervous system regulation can help minimize how these symptoms interfere with your life, as well as investigate and process underlying root issues. What Does Trauma Therapy Look Like
  • Trauma therapy does not have to be scary. It will be at your own pace, unfolding and looking at how your life stories affect you. We'll consider neural biological aspects to how the mind and body hold trauma, and we'll work to look at stuck spaces, and how what we've been through can inform our self esteem, identity, and coping in present day. We will work together to process and healthily integrate all the parts of oneself.
