How I can help

Healing from trauma doesn’t mean reliving everything at once. We’ll go at your pace, starting with safety and stabilization, building coping and grounding skills, and moving toward processing only when you’re ready.

My work draws on CBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic approaches, always with a trauma-informed lens that puts your comfort and choices first.

Common questions

Do I have to talk about everything that happened?

No. You decide what to share and when. We’ll build a foundation of safety first.

How do I know if what I went through counts as trauma?

If an experience still affects how you feel, think, or relate to others, it deserves care, whatever its size.

Is trauma therapy only for PTSD?

No. Many people benefit from trauma-informed therapy even without a PTSD diagnosis.
