What Methods Are Used to Treat Trauma?
EMDR
EMDR is a powerful evidence-based modality that helps you process and heal from trauma. During sessions, you’ll focus on distressing memories while engaging in guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation. This process helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and re-wiring your brain to control your reactions towards trauma. EMDR can be especially effective for trauma, anxiety, and PTSD.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic Therapy focuses on the connection between your body and mind. Trauma is often stored in the body, leading to physical tension, body aches, fatigue, or emotional distress. In somatic therapy, we work together to tune into your body’s sensations and use gentle techniques to release trauma held in your muscles, tissues, and nervous system. This helps you process emotions in a deeper way and promotes healing through increased body awareness and relaxation.

I provide a safe environment for you to discuss your trauma. I use effective methods to help you heal, with EMDR being the most common. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a well-known technique for trauma recovery.
