Coming home to yourself – layer by layer.Mind & Body Support for Trauma
Supporting your lived experience.
Trauma doesn’t just live in the mind – it leaves a profound imprint on the body as well. When you’ve experienced trauma, your nervous system can remain stuck in a state of fight, flight, or freeze, even long after the event has passed. This can show up as anxiety, chronic stress, physical tension, difficulty regulating emotions, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Traditional talk therapy addresses the thoughts and feelings tied to trauma, but true healing requires engaging the body where these experiences are stored. That’s why we take a holistic, nervous system-informed approach, incorporating somatic practices and therapies like EMDR to help you process trauma on a deeper level and restore balance to both your mind and body.
In my practice, I support individuals navigating a wide range of trauma experiences. This includes complex trauma from prolonged or repeated exposure to distress, such as childhood neglect or abusive relationships, and developmental trauma, which arises from early life experiences that disrupt a sense of safety and connection. I also treat acute trauma resulting from specific events like accidents, assaults, or loss, as well as relational trauma tied to difficult or harmful dynamics with loved ones. Many of my clients face the lingering effects of intergenerational trauma, where unprocessed pain is passed through families, or systemic trauma, stemming from discrimination or marginalization. No matter the source, I honor the individuality of your experience and provide compassionate, tailored care to help you heal.
