Specialized Focus Areas:
PTSD and Complex Trauma for
Teens (15+) and Adults

Trauma responses can be overwhelming and confusing. Symptoms may include hypervigilance, intrusive memories, intense and overwhelming emotions, or physical tension. Therapy helps you process these experiences safely, so trauma no longer controls your life.
Trauma therapy can help with:
Dissociation

Dissociation is your nervous system’s way of protecting you from overwhelm. It can manifest as zoning out, feeling detached, or forgetting periods of time. Therapy focuses on gently reconnecting you with your body, emotions, and surroundings at a pace that feels safe.

Intense/Heavy Emotions

Intense emotions, fear of abandonment, and relationship challenges often arise from early or ongoing trauma. Trauma-informed therapy helps you understand and regulate these patterns, while fostering self-compassion and agency.

Physical Pain/Tension

trauma doesn’t only affect our thoughts and emotions—it can be stored and expressed in the body. When someone has experienced trauma, the nervous system often stays in a state of threat, which can show up in many ways, like chronic muscle tension, pain, shallow breathing, or fatigue. Trauma therapy can help to gently reset our nervous system into a less intense and calmer state.
