Safe, trauma-informed therapy for healing from difficult life experiences. I provide specialized treatment for PTSD, complex trauma, and acute stress using evidence-based approaches in a confidential, supportive environment.
Trauma occurs when we experience or witness events that are emotionally overwhelming, threatening, or harmful. These experiences can have lasting effects on our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. For Auburn residents, trauma might stem from accidents, violence, loss, medical emergencies, or other life-changing events.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and trauma-related conditions are treatable with proper professional support. I provide trauma-informed care that prioritizes your safety, choice, and empowerment throughout the healing process.
I use specialized, evidence-based treatments designed specifically for trauma and PTSD. My approach prioritizes your safety, empowerment, and healing at your own pace. All trauma work is done with your full consent and within your window of tolerance.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy adapted specifically for trauma survivors, focusing on changing trauma-related thoughts and behaviors.
Safety is the foundation of effective trauma therapy. I work to create a therapeutic environment where you feel secure, respected, and in control of your healing journey.
Trauma therapy is not about re-traumatizing or forcing you to relive painful experiences. We work at your pace, within your comfort zone, and always with your consent. You have the right to pause, take breaks, or redirect our sessions at any time.
With proper trauma treatment, people often experience significant improvement in their symptoms and overall quality of life. Healing is possible, and you deserve to feel safe and whole again.
