Do you or a loved one experience intrusive thoughts, nightmares and/or flashbacks? Do your reactions to trauma triggers impact your daily functioning and relationships? Do you avoid people, places or situations to protect yourself from getting anxiety? Do you feel sensations in your body when you are triggered that feel uncomfortable?
If you have unresolved trauma, it’s very common to feel this way. I am a trauma-informed therapist with one goal, to support my clients so that you can find and live with joy post trauma. Together we will define goals and decide the pacing of the work together. You get to decide when and if you are ready to share something that is painful to be reminded of. Together we will work towards unburdening the parts of self that are holding the pain of the past. We will develop self compassion, learn how our trauma is showing up in our daily life all while adapting new coping skills and strategies to live a better life.
