My Approach to Trauma Therapy
Trauma Therapy
I understand that therapy is not “one-size-fits-all.” I will meet you where you are at any stage of healing. I combine relational, trauma-informed care with the latest neuroscience to help you achieve greater emotional balance, improve your relationships, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Many of the issues I work with tend to be rooted in growing up in dysfunctional families, and having experienced childhood emotional neglect & developmental (complex) trauma.
Modern Tools That Work
My Approach
I am trained in a range of experiential and evidence-based therapies, including:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): Effective for processing trauma and reducing distress from difficult memories.
- IFS (Internal Family Systems): A compassionate approach to understanding the different parts of yourself and creating internal harmony.
- Somatic Experiencing (SE): Focused on releasing trauma stored in the body and restoring a sense of safety and wholeness.
- Brainspotting: Brain-body therapy that uses eye positioning to process difficult emotions and unresolved traumatic experiences.
Individuals who are the best fit with my approach are those interested in a deeper exploration of who they are and those wanting to shift their disempowering patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving.
Together, we will explore patterns and strategies that create and maintain unwanted experiences and shift towards authenticity and agency.
Trauma Therapy Rooted in Science and Connection
Moving beyond survival mode to reclaim your life through a personalized, body-centered approach.
I help people navigate the long-term effects of complex trauma and childhood neglect. By combining clinical expertise with a focus on how your body stores stress, we will work together to restore your emotional balance and help you feel back in control of your own life.
Brain-Based Processing
Using tools like EMDR and Brainspotting, I help you process trauma where it actually lives—in your brain and body—to create lasting change at a neurological level.
Somatic & Body Wisdom
With Somatic Experiencing, we will work on releasing the physical tension your body has been holding onto for years. It is about learning to trust your body again and finding a path toward real physical and emotional rest.
Relational Healing
We will look at the patterns shaped by difficult family dynamics and childhood neglect. Understanding these roots helps you break old cycles and build deeper, more honest relationships with others and yourself.
Internal Harmony
I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you understand the different, often conflicting parts of your personality. Instead of fighting yourself, we will work toward a sense of internal peace and clarity.
Find Your Balance and Reclaim Your Life
Science-backed trauma therapy for real, lasting change.
Recovering from complex trauma and childhood neglect starts with a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. I use a combination of EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Experiencing to help you work through the ways your past still affects your life today. Whether you want to break old family patterns or resolve long-standing trauma, I am here to help you understand yourself more deeply and tap into the resilience you already have.
