TRAUMA RECOVERY

Healing from trauma is possible.

I'm certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C through Postpartum Support International) and EMDR (EMDRIA) and specialize in trauma recovery. 

My approach is trauma and attachment focused, tailoring therapy to your unique experiences and needs.  This includes building coping skills to help you calm yourself and cope with distress, exploring and understanding how past experiences and relationships are affecting you now. I offer Attachment Focused EMDR, Ego State/Parts Work and psychodynamic therapy to guide and support you in processing and healing from trauma and other disturbing life experiences. LGBTQ+

Healing the effects of trauma

Effects of trauma/PTSD can lead to:

  • Difficulty “letting it go” or making sense of what's happened to you.

  • Replaying events over and over in your mind, intrusive memories or nightmares

  • Expecting something bad to happen. 

  • Questioning your own thoughts and feelings, your reality.

  • Becoming anxious, on edge or insecure in certain situations

  • Noticing your body is suddenly in distress.

  • Feeling closed off, distant from the people most important to you.

Because of the way memories of trauma are stored, events from the past can continue to impact your life and your relationships, long after the event is over.  Healing trauma is possible and it’s never too late to begin the recovery process.
