Have you had trauma?

Do you have disturbing memories that seem to come out of nowhere? You are ready to quiet the nightmares? Do emotions come bubbling up unexpectedly? Are you moody or anxious during a certain time of year? Do you have extreme emotions when you hear, see, or smell something specific? Does a traumatic memory distract you and keep you from engaging in your life? Do people ever reflect that you stare off into space? Do you feel like you are disconnected from yourself? Do you avoid people or places so that you don’t re-experience certain memories or emotions? Do you struggle to recall details associated with trauma?

The stress is too much,

and you feel like it’s time to put the pieces back together. You think there might be another way to think about the world—a way that isn’t assuming the worst of yourself or the everyone else. You’re ready to move on from powerlessness to reclaim your way in the world.

Maybe you’ve heard that talk therapy might be helpful. Maybe you’ve heard about cognitive-behavioral therapy, or eye movement desensitization reprocessing therapy (EMDR), or hypnosis and you think you are ready to try nearly anything to get your brain back.

You’ll learn to talk about trauma.

We work together and in a way that you can think about what happened without becoming overwhelmed and without shame. You might find yourself doing things and seeing people without feeling triggered. You might feel that the switch that flipped so easily into anger becomes a dial that you can turn way down. You’ll learn that you don’t have to feel defined by an experience. You learn to replace blame with self-compassion.

I help scared, yet brave people work to transform a life that feels broken into a reimagined, reclaimed whole. You are not alone and you can find a path back. Click below to schedule a free 15- minute phone consult to see if we might be a fit.
