Explore Healing and Integration of Traumatic Events
Trauma isn’t just about what happened to you: it’s about how you adapted to survive it. Whether you’re dealing with a single overwhelming event, childhood experiences that shaped your sense of self, or the cumulative weight of ongoing stress, trauma leaves real marks on the body and mind. I take an approach to trauma therapy that’s both evidence-informed and honest about the process. Healing isn’t linear, and I won’t pretend it is. What I will do is help you understand your own responses, work with your nervous system rather than against it, and support you in building safety from the inside out.

How I Can Help
My approach is somatic and parts-based. We pay attention to what’s happening in your body and work with the different aspects of your experience rather than trying to override them. I can also offer Flash and Rewind techniques for processing traumatic memories with minimal distress.

Learn to reconnect with your body, releasing stored tension and fostering a sense of calm and groundedness.

Frequently Asked Questions
A single overwhelming event often leads to PTSD. CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder) typically develops from repeated or prolonged trauma, such as childhood experiences, ongoing abuse, or sustained neglect. Both are real and both respond to trauma-informed therapy, though the work looks somewhat different.
No. Some trauma processing approaches, including Flash Technique and Rewind, allow meaningful work without requiring you to recount your experience in detail. You are always in control of what you share and when.
Trauma therapy specifically accounts for how trauma lives in the body, not just the mind. It works with your nervous system, paces the work carefully to avoid re-traumatization, and addresses the protective adaptations you developed to survive — rather than treating them as problems to eliminate.
Yes. Trauma doesn’t have an expiry date. Many people seek support years or decades after traumatic experiences, sometimes because something in the present has brought it to the surface. The timing doesn’t determine whether healing is possible.
Many extended health plans cover sessions with a Registered Social Worker (RSW). I provide receipts for submission to your insurance provider. Check your specific plan to confirm RSW coverage.
