Trauma doesn’t have to be the loudest thing in the room.
Evidence-based therapy for memories, symptoms and relationship patterns that have not shifted through insight alone.
Understanding the story is important. Sometimes the nervous system needs help changing it.
I work with adults and older teens carrying a single overwhelming event, complex childhood trauma, the weight of first-response or military work, serious illness, grief, anxiety or relationship patterns that keep repeating.
Sessions are direct, collaborative and paced carefully. You do not have to retell every detail to make meaningful progress.
