Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapy & EMDR for Deep, Lasting Healing
“Healing begins the moment you stop turning away from yourself and start coming home to the parts of you that have waited so long to be seen.“
About you
Does this Sound Familiar?
If any of this resonates with you, you are not alone…
If you learned early in life that the world wasnt always safe. Maybe there was chaos, addiction, violence, or emotional neglect in your home. You became the responsible one, the peacekeeper, the overachieverthe one who held it all together so things didn’t fall apart.
Now youre an adult, and people may see you as strong and capable, but inside you often feel anxious, on edge, or numb. You replay conversations, worry youre too much, and struggle to set boundaries without a wave of guilt or shame. You might lean on work, caretaking, substances, or scrolling just to get through the day.
If this sounds familiar, nothing about you is broken or too sensitive. Your nervous system is responding exactly how it learned to survive. In therapy, you dont have to minimize what happened. We’ll move gently, at your pace, to untangle old patterns from your present life and help you feel safer, softer, and more at home in your own body and relationships.
How Trauma, Somatic & EMDR Therapy Can Support You
Survival to Safety
Shift from living in trauma responses -fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. Start feeling safer, steadier, and more connected to your body.
Self-Sacrificing to Balance
Move from people-pleasing and over-functioning to setting boundaries that honor your needs, energy, and capacity.
Overwhelm to Regulation
Transform chronic stress and overwhelm into a more regulated nervous system that can finally exhale, rest, and reset.
Silence to Empowerment
Grow from shutting down or staying small to speaking your truth with confidence, selfrespect, and self-compassion.
Anxiety to Clarity
Calm anxiety that runs your life so you can experience more clarity, grounding, and a sense of internal control.
Numbing to Freedom
Gently move from numbing or avoiding your pain to feeling, expressing, and processing emotions in ways that bring relief, insight, and deeper joy.
Healing the Whole Self; An Integrative Approach
Trauma leaves an imprint on both the mind and body. I use an integrative approach, utilizing several techniques to heal all parts of the self, ensuring none are left behind. All modalities are grounded in neuroscience and highly personalized
Somatic Experiencing (SE)
Somatic Experiencing supports you in understanding how trauma and stress live in the body. Instead of reliving the past, we focus on what’s happening in your nervous system right now. Together, we’ll gently release stored survival responses, rebuild internal safety, and help your body feel more grounded, steady, and connected.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR supports the brain in processing painful memories and experiences that still feel “stuck.” Through bilateral stimulation, we help your system move toward resolution so the past feels less overwhelming. Many clients notice more clarity, emotional balance, and a sense of internal freedom as the work unfolds.
Attachment Theory
Your early relationships shaped how you learned to trust, protect, connect, or pull away. If you struggle with boundaries, closeness, or feeling secure, attachment work helps you understand why — without blame. Together, we’ll create new patterns of connection that feel safer, healthier, and more aligned with who you’re becoming.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS guides you to explore the different “parts” of you — the protector, the inner critic, the overwhelmed part, the part that shuts down. Instead of fighting these parts, we get curious about them. As you build a compassionate relationship with your inner world, you gain more clarity, choice, and self‑leadership.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT helps you stop fighting your thoughts and emotions and start relating to them differently. Instead of getting stuck in anxiety, fear, or self‑judgment, you learn skills that help you stay grounded in the present moment and move toward the life you want — even when things feel hard.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT offers practical tools for managing big emotions, reducing overwhelm, and staying grounded during stress. Through skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation, you learn how to navigate intense moments with more clarity, steadiness, and self‑respect.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness teaches you how to slow down, notice what’s happening inside you, and respond with intention rather than overwhelm. It helps you reconnect with your breath, your body, and your inner landscape so you can feel more centered, aware, and steady throughout your day.
Trauma Informed Yoga
If your body has felt like a place you avoid, trauma informed yoga offers a gentle way back. Through slow, choice based movement and breathwork, you’ll learn to reconnect with your body in a safe, empowering way. This practice supports regulation, grounding, and a deeper sense of presence.
Person-Centered Therapy
Person-centered therapy puts you at the center of the healing process. Instead of focusing on what’s “wrong” with you, we focus on your inherent wisdom, strengths, and capacity to grow. In a warm, nonjudgmental space, you’re invited to explore your story at your own pace while feeling deeply seen, heard, and respected for exactly who you are.
