Childhood or recent trauma

In-person therapy in Austin, TX | Virtual therapy across Massachusetts

Trauma symptoms can look like:

Your brain knows you are safe...but your body says otherwise.

You have emotional flashbacks out of nowhere...and feel like you are overreacting.

You firmly believe that there is something wrong with you or that you're broken.

You go back and forth to feeling totally overwhelmed and flooded with emotion....to completely numb.

You've read all the books about trauma and logically know what's going on...but you're body still reacts.

Your body finally recognizes you are safe....and finally let's you relax.

You notice that triggers become information...not emergencies.

You don't think about the trauma constantly...it feels like it's finally staying in the past.

Your inner critic that says you were broken is quiet...shame no longer runs the show.

You can feel emotions without drowning in them...they can come and go.

You trust your instincts again...things just feel clearer.

EMDR and IFS are two powerful methods for trauma work. I use both these modalities because I know firsthand how transformative they can be.

And I want you to know that with both these methods, you drive the healing. I will be there to sit with you in it, and guide you through the process.

Nothing is too much. Nothing is too little. Nothing is too overwhelming.

We’ll map it out, work through it, and help your body stop living in survival mode.
