Healing from trauma means (re)claiming your sense of self and creating a future that isn’t defined by what happened to you. As you move through recovery, the trauma becomes a part of your story—not the whole story. Recovery looks different for everyone, and it’s natural to feel like it’s taking too long or that you’re not “doing it right.” But true healing isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about learning to live with it in a way that allows you to move forward with self-compassion and hope.
Ready to heal and move forward with your life? I want that for you too! I am here to guide you as you embark on a journey of self discovery, self acceptance and personal growth. Trauma doesn’t have to hold you back forever. If you have faced significant traumatic events OR repetitive small traumas, your past might frequently affect your present. Maybe that has come with a diagnosis of PTSD. Maybe you simply notice that there are patterns of thought or behaviors that seem impossible to fix. Maybe your triggers have a theme that traces back to childhood, pain, or a past relationship. Whatever your story, trauma therapy can help you tackle the past and reclaim your future.
