Trauma Therapy

The effects of trauma are vast, affecting every individual in their own unique way.  For children and adults alike, it is helpful to take a close look at how the brain and body are affected by trauma, to learn together to notice when a trauma response takes over our actions and decisions, to practice coping skills that help regulate the mind and body, and to learn and integrate self-compassion into daily life. When working with clients who have experienced trauma, I go slowly.  It is my job to make sure that my clients feel safe, secure, and empowered so that they can begin to process their trauma in a productive and supportive environment. As a trauma-informed therapist, I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches—including EMDR, self-compassion practices, and person-centered therapy—to create a supportive and healing environment tailored to each client’s unique needs.
