Trauma
If trauma has been impacting your life, and you feel stuck in unhealthy patterns or overwhelming emotions, we could be a good fit for you. Whether you’re looking for deeper emotional understanding, practical coping strategies, or both, we’re here to help you find the path forward that feels right for you.
We want to help you understand & heal
Trauma affects everyone differently, and we understand how hard it can be to find the right support. We’re here to listen and help you make sense of what you’ve been through. Our approach focuses on understanding your unique experiences and providing personalized, compassionate care. By blending behavioral strategies with deeper emotional exploration, we address both the surface-level challenges and the underlying issues that shape your trauma response.

Our approach
A Safe Space for You: We begin by creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood. During our initial sessions, we’ll take the time to really get to know you—your story, your struggles, and your hopes for the future. Our goal is to build a strong connection and foster a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel empowered to share and heal at your own pace.
You Are at the Center of Your Healing: Our person-centered approach means that you are always at the heart of our work together. We believe in tailoring therapy to meet your needs, values, and strengths. You are in control of your healing process, and we’re here to support and guide you. We will collaborate with you, ensuring that your goals and preferences are woven into the therapeutic process.
Deep Exploration of the Past: With a psychodynamic lens, we help you explore how your past experiences—especially early relationships—may be affecting your present. Together, we’ll gently uncover unconscious patterns or unresolved conflicts that could be contributing to your trauma. This deeper understanding can be a powerful part of your healing, helping you break free from patterns that no longer serve you.
Practical Strategies with DBT: While exploring your inner world is important, we also know you need practical tools to manage daily stress and emotions. That’s where Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) comes in. We’ll work together to build skills in areas like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness; giving you concrete strategies to navigate overwhelming feelings and difficult situations in real life.
Bringing It All Together: Throughout therapy, we integrate both the emotional and behavioral aspects of healing. As we explore deeper emotional wounds, we’ll also work on transforming the way you respond to triggers and stressors in your day-to-day life. This balanced approach ensures that you feel supported emotionally while also gaining the tools you need to cope effectively in the here and now.
Your Healing Starts Here
Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to walk this journey with you—at your pace, with care and respect. If you’re ready to take that first step, or if you’re curious about how we can help, we’d love to hear from you.
