Trauma Focused Therapy
One of the greatest honors of my work is walking with clients through the hardest parts of their story and helping them reclaim their power, healing, and self-love. Trauma work lights me up—it’s where I’ve seen some of the most profound transformations. If you're at a place where you're ready to face what’s been tucked away, I’ll be right there beside you. We go at your pace, with patience, curiosity, and a gentle nudge when needed. I often ask: What might healing feel like?
My approach is integrative and collaborative. EMDR is one of my favorite tools—and often incredibly effective—but it’s just one option. You choose what fits. We might weave in mindfulness, somatic work, IFS, or tune into how the body holds past experiences. I believe there are no bad parts, no “wrong” reactions—just protective parts doing their best. Trauma distorts our sense of self, and a big part of this work is rediscovering the you that’s been there all along.
You’re not broken. You’re more than what happened to you—and healing is possible.
