Trauma
"Trauma creates change you don't choose. Healing is about creating change you do choose." -Marion Woodman
Trauma leaves an imprint on both the mind and body,, affecting every dimension of our being - from our closest relationships to our deepest sense of self. Its echoes can persist in our bodies, minds, and daily experiences, creating patterns that may feel impossible to shift. Like being caught in a haunted house where the past continuously plays out in the present, we might find ourselves unconsciously repeating old protective patterns even when the original danger has passed.
Yet, I have witnessed the profound possibility of healing from trauma. Through dedicated therapeutic work, we can transform these wounds into sources of strength and wisdom. My commitment is to create a sanctuary where your story can unfold at its own pace, held in deep compassion and understanding.
My trauma-focused approach integrates:
Psychodynamic depth work
Somatic awareness practices
Mindfulness-based techniques
EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Trauma-informed care principles
EMDR serves as a powerful gateway to healing, using bilateral stimulation to help your brain find safety in the present moment. This gentle yet effective approach supports the natural processing of traumatic experiences, allowing for deep and lasting transformation.
Together we will:
Establish a foundation of safety and trust
Develop resources for emotional regulation
Reconnect with your body's wisdom
Process traumatic experiences at your own pace
Strengthen your capacity for joy and aliveness
Reclaim your sense of empowerment and choice
Our work focuses not just on healing past wounds, but on cultivating a renewed sense of possibility and vitality. Through this journey, you can discover a deeper connection to yourself and a more embodied way of being in the world.
If you feel ready to begin this healing journey, I invite you to reach out. Your path to recovery begins with a single step, and I am here to walk beside you.
