Trauma Therapy for Adults and Teens

Are you constantly reminded of a past trauma? You might be reliving it in dreams, flashbacks, or intrusive thoughts, and it’s affecting your daily life. You might feel anxious, disconnected, or numb, and struggle with relationships, trust, and self-worth.

​

Trauma recovery is possible with therapy.
You can learn to manage your emotions, resolve past issues, and see your trauma as something that happened to you, not who you are. Therapy can help you grow from the experience and improve your life.

​

I offer individual and relationship therapy for trauma survivors, as well as a video program and workbook for adult trauma survivors, to aid your healing. Let me guide you through this process, which is tailored to your needs. I can help you find safety, calm, and confidence in facing life’s challenges.

​

You don’t have to let the past control your future. I’m here to help you move forward.
