A Safe Space to Process What Happened
Trauma can shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and the world long after the event itself has passed. Whether what happened was a single, frightening moment or something that built up over time, its effects are real and worth taking seriously.
This is a space to process what happened without judgment, at a pace that feels manageable. There’s no expectation to relive every detail before you’re ready.

Understanding Different Types of Trauma
Trauma isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is the right support for it. Here are a few of the areas I work with most often.
Healing From a Single, Overwhelming Event
PTSD can develop after a frightening or life-threatening event, an accident, an assault, a sudden loss, or anything that overwhelmed your sense of safety. Symptoms like flashbacks, hypervigilance, or avoidance are the mind’s way of trying to protect you, and they can be worked through.
Healing From What Happened Growing Up
Experiences from childhood, abuse, neglect, an unstable or frightening home, don’t stay in the past. They often continue shaping how you relate to yourself and others well into adulthood. This work is about understanding those patterns and finding a different way forward.
Healing From Prolonged or Repeated Trauma
Complex trauma comes from prolonged or repeated exposure to distressing situations, rather than a single event, ongoing domestic violence, long-term high-stress environments, or sustained relational harm. It often requires a different, more layered approach than trauma from a single incident.

Trauma Therapy FAQs
How do I know if I need trauma therapy?
If something that happened, whether once or repeatedly, still affects how you feel, think, or react today, it’s worth having a conversation. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to reach out.
What's the difference between PTSD and complex trauma?
PTSD typically develops after a single, overwhelming event. Complex trauma comes from prolonged or repeated exposure to distressing situations, like ongoing abuse or a long-term high-stress environment. Both are treated with care, though the approach can look a little different.
Do I need to talk about the details of what happened right away?
No. There’s no pressure to relive or describe anything before you’re ready. We’ll go at whatever pace feels manageable for you.
Can trauma from childhood still affect me as an adult?
Yes, often significantly. Childhood experiences can continue shaping how you relate to yourself and others well into adulthood, even if it doesn’t feel directly connected at first.
How many sessions does trauma therapy typically take?
It varies widely depending on what you’re working through and how long it’s been present. We’ll figure out what’s right for you together.
