How Trauma Therapy Can Help

Healing from trauma does not mean erasing the past. It means changing your relationship to it.

I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for trauma and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), both highly effective treatments for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms.

In our work together, we may focus on:

• Understanding how trauma affects the brain and body

• Identifying and gently examining unhelpful beliefs formed after trauma

• Reducing distress connected to memories

• Decreasing avoidance and emotional numbness

• Calming the nervous system through grounding and regulation skills

• Reducing hypervigilance and feeling constantly “on edge”

• Addressing guilt, shame, anxiety, or depression linked to the experience

CPT is a structured form of cognitive therapy that helps you understand why recovery can feel stuck and how trauma-related beliefs may be keeping you there. Together, we work to create more balanced, compassionate perspectives so you can move forward with greater freedom and clarity.

You do not have to relive your trauma alone. Healing is possible — and it can happen at a pace that feels safe for you.
