Compassionate, evidence-based care to help you heal and reconnect with your life.
Trauma is not only about what happened to you, but also about how your mind and body responded. It can occur after a single event or build up over time through repeated experiences of stress, neglect, or fear. When the body remains in a state of survival long after the danger has passed, it can affect mood, sleep, relationships, and your ability to feel safe and connected.
There are two general types of trauma that people often experience.
Big T trauma may result from events such as abuse, assault, natural disasters, or serious accidents. These experiences are easily recognized as traumatic.
Little t trauma can come from experiences that appear smaller on the surface, such as chronic criticism, emotional neglect, bullying, or rejection. Over time, these repeated wounds can have a powerful impact on how you see yourself and the world around you.
Often when we think of trauma, we think of things that are so big and overwhelming that we lose the ability to cope and become unable to function in our everyday lives. These are what we refer to in the trauma recovery field as Big T traumas. These are the things where 100 people would look at it and say “Yes, that is trauma”. Examples of Big T traumas include sexual assaults, domestic violence, child abuse, major car accidents, wars, robberies, etc. Big T trauma is usually associated with specific events and often involves distinct memories.
When someone experiences trauma, their body and mind adapt to survive. You might feel anxious, detached, or on edge. You may find yourself reacting strongly to certain situations or avoiding closeness altogether. These responses are your body’s way of trying to stay safe, even when the original danger is no longer present.
Therapy provides a space to gently reconnect with your body, rebuild emotional regulation, and develop tools to manage difficult memories. Through this process, you begin to trust yourself again and regain a sense of stability in your daily life.
Healing from trauma requires both compassion and structure. I use evidence-based treatments such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, and trauma-informed interventions to help you process experiences safely and effectively.
We will work at a pace that honors your readiness and your goals. Our sessions focus on helping you develop practical coping strategies while exploring deeper patterns that may hold you back. Over time, you will learn how to create emotional safety, improve boundaries, and reconnect with joy and purpose.
Therapy is not about reliving the past, but about reclaiming your power in the present.
You may be functioning well in your career and daily life, yet still feel anxious, numb, or detached. You might find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships or struggling to relax even in peaceful moments. These are common responses to trauma.
Reaching out for support does not mean you are broken. It means you are ready to live more fully. The process of healing allows you to move beyond survival and begin to thrive again.
