What Is Trauma & EMDR Therapy?
Trauma therapy supports you in recovering from challenging experiences like childhood trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, grief, or relationship betrayal.
The aim is to help you understand and manage your emotional responses, reduce PTSD symptoms, and enhance your mental health.
We use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to create a safe and supportive environment. This allows you to explore your trauma at your own pace while developing effective coping strategies to manage its effects.
Signs you need trauma therapy:
Feeling stuck by difficult experiences that happened in the past.
Having a hard time letting go or moving on.
Having a childhood where you felt misunderstood.
You’ve experienced difficult relationships and felt hurt or betrayed by them.
Experiences with verbal, emotional, physical, or sexual abuse.
Easily triggered by current experiences that take you back into the past.
If you are feeling any of these feelings, getting counseling for trauma would be a good fit for you.
Take charge of your life.
How Trauma & EMDR Therapy Works
Your life doesn’t look the way you want it to.
Trauma & EMDR therapy offers a structured and supportive environment for safely exploring and processing traumatic experiences.
We use a range of evidence-based techniques tailored to your needs, including CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) to reframe negative thoughts, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to reprocess traumatic memories, and somatic experiencing to address physical sensations related to trauma.
The process begins with building a strong therapeutic relationship to ensure trust and safety. As you become more secure, you’ll gradually confront and work through your traumatic memories and emotions.
Throughout therapy, we’ll help you develop coping strategies and resilience to manage symptoms, reduce distress, and integrate your experiences into your life narrative in a healthier way.

If you have ever had any experiences in your life that have felt extremely difficult, so basically all of us have felt the side effects of trauma. Trauma does not have to just be for people who have experienced physical or sexual abuse or a car accident, trauma is also for people who have felt misunderstood in life, have had difficult relationships, had periods of hardship where things felt unfair. To be human means to have experienced some trauma in life, big or small. There is no need to compare yourself, I am here to help regardless of the type of trauma you have endured.

I first and foremost hold a safe space for you to be able to talk about and discuss your trauma. I then use evidence based solutions to help you heal, EMDR being the most common one.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and is a popular way to help people to heal from trauma. It involves you focusing on a traumatic memory along with the negative beliefs associated with it, while simultaneously receiving some sort of bilateral stimulation (I use tappers), which helps your brain process the trauma easier and quicker.

I want you to let go of difficult experiences and feel liberated. I’m here to offer a safe space to move on from triggers and symptoms holding you back. It’s time for change, and I’d love to guide you on that journey.
