Gain deeper insight into your pain and begin the journey toward a more grounded, whole version of yourself.

Does it feel like your trauma is holding you back from the life you want?

Maybe you notice a lingering sense of dread, or you feel stuck, disconnected from your daily life. Whether it’s intrusive memories, overwhelming emotions, or numbness, the weight of trauma can spill into every part of your life—your relationships, work, and even your sense of self. It might seem like no matter how much time passes, you just can’t shake the past.

But trauma doesn’t have to keep you stuck. Therapy can help you explore these experiences in a safe, supportive space, so you can begin healing and move toward a life of deeper connection and fulfillment.

Common questions about trauma therapy

  • Trauma can deeply influence the ways we think, feel, and relate to others, often creating unconscious patterns that repeat. In therapy, we’ll work to uncover these underlying emotional patterns and explore how past experiences shape your present. By addressing the root causes, you can begin to break free from the cycle and experience more fulfilling relationships and emotional freedom.

  • Not necessarily. In psychodynamic trauma therapy, the focus isn’t just on recounting painful events but on understanding the deeper emotional wounds that may have resulted. You set the pace. We explore together, focusing on what feels relevant and safe, allowing space for healing to occur without overwhelming you.

  • The timeline for healing varies for each person, especially when dealing with deep-rooted trauma. In therapy, we’ll work at your own pace, balancing immediate relief with the deeper work needed for lasting change. While it’s not an overnight process, many clients begin to feel shifts in emotional awareness and relief after several sessions.
