Trauma Therapy

Disconnected. On Edge. Exhausted.

Trauma comes in many forms and can present itself on a spectrum. 

It’s subjective to YOU- it’s not be compared- it’s any experience that threatens your sense of emotional or physical safety. 

Trauma responses can have you feeling an array of confusing feelings and emotions

Sometimes you may not even realize that your trauma response is running the show.

Trauma has a tendency to show up in the present moment, intrusively and uninvited- in the way you feel about yourself, in your intimate relationships, at work, and with your friends and family.

You feel on edge- like always. 

You feel like you are overreacting to “simple” changes in patterns or expectations.

You feel out of control- of our thoughts, feelings and your body. 

You feel like you have done something wrong. 

You feel alone and scared.
