Therapy for Trauma
The specific types of trauma that women tend to experience impact our sense of self in unique ways. When we are hurt at the hands of someone close to us--as in the case of childhood trauma, for instance--our very sense of self can become distorted. This makes it very difficult to create the lives and relationships we desire. In therapy, we can attend to these "invisible scars" with the help of a clinician who is familiar with this inner terrain. We can also get referrals for medical support, as needed. Therapy can be a light in the darkness.

Women and Trauma
Women are more likely to experience or know someone who has experienced relational traumas such as sexual assault and domestic violence. This puts us at increased risk for developing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD). Everyone has a right to live free from the effects of trauma and abuse but too often it is part of our emotional landscape. If you have been impacted by trauma, you are far from alone. Seeking the help of a trained professional is an important part of the solution. Together, there are things that we can do to help you find healing.

How I Help
Therapy is a safe space to do the challenging but necessary work of healing from trauma. I am familiar with the roller coaster of life after trauma and the painful footprints in leaves. Together, we can find a steady and compassionate way through that keeps you in the driver's seat, even as you work to regain confidence. My goal is to help restore what trauma robs from us--our sense of power--so you can get where you want to go from here. I am experienced and would be happy to assist you on the path of healing.
