Trauma Services
Trauma can shape the way you think, feel, and move through the world, often long after the experience itself has passed. You may notice heightened anxiety, flashbacks or emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or a sense of being stuck in the past. Trauma therapy offers a safe, supportive space to gently process what you’ve been through at your own pace, helping you reconnect with your body, your sense of safety, and yourself.
You may benefit from therapy if you:
- Feel stuck in past experiences that still affect you today
- Experience intrusive memories, flashbacks, or emotional overwhelm
- Notice strong reactions in your body, such as tension or hypervigilance
- Avoid reminders of painful experiences
- Struggle with trust, safety, or feeling present
- Want to heal in a way that feels gentle, supportive, and paced
My approach to trauma therapy is client-centered, collaborative, and paced with care. I draw from evidence-based methods, including EMDR, CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, to help process traumatic experiences while strengthening your sense of safety and stability in the present. We’ll build tools for grounding and self-compassion alongside deeper healing so that you can move forward feeling more empowered, connected, and whole.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you address trauma in therapy?
I address trauma in therapy by creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and paced around your needs. We begin by building trust and strengthening tools for grounding and emotional regulation, so you feel more stable and supported before moving into deeper work.
I use a client-centered, trauma-informed approach that may include EMDR, CBT, ACT, and mindfulness to gently process traumatic experiences and the beliefs they created about yourself and the world. You remain in control of the pace and direction of therapy at all times. My goal is to help you feel more present, empowered, and connected without ever rushing or retraumatizing.
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a specialized modality of psychotherapy that helps individuals process distressing or traumatic memories, beliefs, and emotions safely and effectively. EMDR has become widely recognized as a powerful tool for addressing a variety of psychological challenges and promoting healing and growth. While it’s best known for treating trauma-related mental health concerns, research has also shown it to be effective for treating many other mental health concerns as well.
Is EMDR better in person or online?
Studies show that EMDR is as effective via telehealth as it is in person. So, that leaves it up to you and what you prefer!
Is EMDR covered by insurance?
Yes, EMDR is an evidence-based practice covered by insurance plans. Insurance covers 50-55 minute sessions, however some find additional session time with EMDR is preferrable.
If you decide you’d like to try 90 minute EMDR sessions, please note that this would be a private pay fee, and would not be billed through insurance. For more information on insurance and fees, please click here.
