Understand What Happened. Heal What Still Hurts. Move Forward at Your Own Pace.
Sometimes the Past Still Feels Present
You may know that something difficult happened in your past, but still wonder why it continues to affect you today. Certain situations, conversations, memories, or even seemingly small moments can bring up emotions or reactions that feel bigger than you expected.
Trauma can show up in many ways. You might feel constantly on guard, disconnected from yourself or others, easily overwhelmed, irritable, or unable to fully relax. You may avoid certain memories or situations, struggle with trust, experience nightmares or intrusive memories, or find yourself blaming yourself for what happened.
Sometimes trauma is connected to a specific experience. Other times, it can come from repeated experiences, difficult relationships, childhood experiences, or environments where you didn’t consistently feel safe or supported.
Therapy can give you space to understand how your experiences continue to affect you without forcing you to share everything before you’re ready. Together, we can work toward helping you feel safer in the present, process what you’ve been through, and develop a different relationship with the experiences that have shaped you.
• Understanding how past experiences may be affecting your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and reactions today.

FAQs

Trauma isn’t defined only by what happened - it can also involve how an experience affected you and how your mind and body responded.
You may notice that certain memories, situations, relationships, or emotions still leave you feeling overwhelmed, on edge, disconnected, or unsafe. You don’t need to compare your experiences to someone else’s or decide whether they were “bad enough” before coming to therapy.

No. You are in control of what you choose to share and when.
Trauma therapy should not mean being pushed to tell your entire story before you feel ready. We can begin by building safety, understanding your current symptoms and patterns, and developing tools to help you feel more grounded before deciding how you want to approach difficult experiences.

Trauma refers to the emotional and psychological impact that distressing experiences can have on a person. PTSD is a specific mental health diagnosis with a particular set of symptoms and diagnostic criteria.
You can be affected by traumatic experiences without meeting the criteria for PTSD. Therapy can still be appropriate even if you don’t have—or aren’t sure whether you have—a PTSD diagnosis.

EMDR is one of the approaches I may incorporate when working with trauma and PTSD. Whether we use EMDR depends on your individual needs, history, comfort level, and therapy goals.
