Trauma

---

I provide trauma-informed, person-centered counseling for individuals who have experienced trauma, difficult life experiences, loss, relationship challenges, or events that continue to affect how they think, feel, or function. Trauma can look different for everyone, and you do not need to have a specific diagnosis or identify with the word “trauma” to benefit from a trauma-informed approach.

Being trauma-informed means I consider how past experiences may influence your emotions, relationships, coping strategies, sense of safety, and beliefs about yourself and the world around you. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment built on safety, trust, collaboration, choice, and empowerment, rather than asking you to simply “move on” from difficult experiences.

I am trained and certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and may incorporate EMDR when appropriate to help process distressing or traumatic experiences. I may also use CBT, Narrative Therapy, Behavioral Activation, and other evidence-based approaches depending on your individual needs and goals. Throughout therapy, I work at your pace and prioritize creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you work through difficult experiences and move toward healing.
