Trauma Therapy

Angela came to therapy carrying a lifetime of pain. She had experienced different types of abuse throughout her life — beginning in childhood and continuing into adulthood. Some of the wounds were obvious, others were harder to name. What they all had in common was how deeply they affected her sense of self, her ability to trust, and her sense of safety in the world.

She wasn’t just surviving — she was exhausted from it.

Trauma therapy offers a space where you don’t have to keep carrying the weight alone. It’s a place where your story is honored, your nervous system is supported, and your healing can begin — at your own pace.

I support adults navigating the effects of trauma, including:

Childhood abuse or neglect (emotional, physical, sexual, or verbal)

Domestic violence, relationship abuse, or betrayal trauma

Religious, cultural, or systemic trauma

Grief and loss connected to traumatic events

Ongoing hypervigilance, dissociation, or emotional numbness

Shame, self-blame, and difficulty trusting others

Trauma therapy isn’t about retelling the worst parts of your story — it’s about reclaiming the parts of you that trauma tried to silence. In our work, Angela began to understand how her past experiences were shaping her current reactions, relationships, and inner dialogue. She learned grounding skills to feel more in control of her body and emotions. She slowly began to feel safe — not just in the room, but in herself.

With time, she reconnected with her voice, set boundaries without fear, and started to live from a place of self-worth rather than survival.

Healing from trauma is not linear, and it doesn’t have to be done alone. If you’re feeling stuck in the past, weighed down by pain that others didn’t see or believe — therapy can be a place to begin again, with gentleness and care.
