Therapy for Trauma
You’re In the right place. Therapy for real-life results.
Feeling trapped by your emotions? You want to feel in control of your life. You want to move on from your past and live a life that’s free from trauma.
But instead, you are…
→ Feeling haunted by the past
→ Over-reacting with intense emotional responses
→ Overwhelmed by anxiety and fear
→ Triggered by emotional wounds
→ Unexpectedly influenced by past events
→ Disrupted by fear and unable to focus and find joy
→ Weighed down by unresolved emotions
→ Trapped in a cycle of distress
→ Unable to connect with others in a meaningful way
Life doesn't have to be this way...
Through therapeutic techniques such as trauma-focused talk therapy, somatic experiencing and EMDR, you can learn to identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and gradually lessen trauma’s impact. Trauma Therapy aims to empower you to regain control over your responses, heal from past wounds, and ultimately, find a path to emotional resilience and peace. What type of trauma therapy is best for me?
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy is a revolutionary approach to psychotherapy that was developed in the late 1980s by psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro. It was initially designed to help individuals suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but has since been found effective in treating a wide range of psychological conditions and emotional distress.
How does EMDR work?
In EMDR therapy, there are eight distinct phases, each playing a crucial role in the journey toward healing.
In the initial stages, our focus is on fostering trust and a strong rapport between therapist and client, laying the groundwork for a safe and nurturing therapeutic environment.
Once this foundation is solidified, we begin the heart of the work, guiding the client through the reprocessing of traumatic memories using bilateral stimulation.
This can take the form of gentle eye movements, soothing hand taps, or comforting auditory tones, tailored to the client's preferences and comfort levels.
Together, we navigate the terrain of the traumatic memory, while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation.

Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the body's role in processing and healing from trauma. Unlike traditional talk therapy, SE recognizes that traumatic experiences are also stored in the body. These unresolved physical sensations and emotions can lead to symptoms like anxiety, hypervigilance, and chronic pain.
By integrating body awareness with emotional processing, SE offers a holistic approach to healing that honors the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in the journey toward recovery.
You will learn to tune into your body’s sensations and physical responses to traumatic memories or triggers. Through gentle guidance and attunement, I support you in safely exploring and releasing these stored sensations. This process allows the nervous system to gradually regulate and discharge the pent-up energy associated with the trauma, promoting healing and restoring a sense of safety and calm.
