Trauma Is What Happened — But It’s Also What Lingers
Trauma isn’t always obvious. Sometimes it’s quiet — a slow disconnection from yourself, your body, or the world around you. It can show up as numbness, irritability, shutdown, or a constant sense that something isn’t safe, even if you can’t say why.
You might seem fine on the outside. You may have learned how to push through, stay busy, stay strong. But inside, there’s a heaviness. A stuckness. Maybe even a sense of being haunted by things you haven’t been able to name.
That doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’ve survived something. And now, something in you is ready for more than survival.
I offer trauma-informed, collaborative therapy for adults living with the lingering effects of trauma. Whether it comes from a single event, a series of experiences, or a lifetime of carrying what no one else could hold, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
You might be dealing with:
Feeling detached or disconnected from yourself or others
Trouble sleeping or frequent nightmares
Anxiety, hypervigilance, or a constant startle response
Shame, guilt, or a sense that you’re “too much”
Flashbacks or intrusive memories
Difficulty trusting, even in safe relationships
Numbing out, avoiding, or shutting down emotionally
Trauma changes how we experience safety, connection, and control — but it doesn’t get the final say.
In therapy, we’ll work together to:
Gently uncover and process what’s been buried or avoided
Build safety in your nervous system and your relationships
Reconnect with your voice, your body, and your story
Reclaim agency and begin to integrate what you’ve survived
You don’t have to relive the past to heal from it.
You just need a space where you’re seen, supported, and met exactly where you are.
Reach out for a free consultation. Let’s talk about how healing can begin — on your terms.
