Finding Healing After Trauma
Living with post-traumatic stress can feel like your mind and body are stuck in overdrive — constantly alert, replaying memories, and struggling to find rest. You might feel anxious, disconnected, or exhausted from trying to “just move on.” Please know this: what you’re feeling makes sense, and you don’t have to face it alone. Healing from trauma is possible.
Our Approach to PTSD Treatment
As a trauma-informed therapists, we offer a safe and supportive space where you can begin to heal at your own pace. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and rooted in trust. We’ll start by helping your nervous system settle — learning grounding skills, improving sleep, and rebuilding a sense of safety.
Once you feel ready, we can begin to process your trauma using evidence-based methods that help reduce distress and empower you to move forward with confidence. Throughout our work together, you remain in control — we’ll go only as far and as fast as you feel comfortable.
How We Can Help
We draw from several proven approaches to help individuals recover from posttraumatic stress and trauma:
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Helps identify and shift painful beliefs about yourself, others, and the world that were shaped by trauma.
Prolonged Exposure (PE): Gently reduces avoidance and fear by helping you safely approach trauma reminders at your own pace.
Written Exposure Therapy (WET): Supports healing by promoting revisiting of memories events in narrative form - a story that can support your recovery.
Mindfulness and stabilization tools: Build emotional regulation, improve sleep, and help you stay grounded in the present moments.
Reaching out for help is a powerful first step — one that shows courage and hope.
What to Expect in Therapy
Trauma treatment is not about reliving the past — it’s about reclaiming your present. In our sessions, we’ll focus on:
Creating safety and stability: Building trust and learning practical coping tools.
Processing trauma memories: Using structured, evidence-based techniques that reduce the emotional charge of painful memories.
Reconnecting with life: Restoring balance, improving relationships, and building confidence in daily life.
