The past keeps you from moving forward.
A part of you wants to move forward and finally leave the past behind. But no matter how hard you try, it keeps showing up – sometimes loud and obvious, like a sudden wave of panic, and other times quieter, like the heaviness that creeps in during moments that should feel joyful.
It’s there in the moments you flinch when no one else does, how your body tenses without warning, or the exhaustion of carrying a story that feels too heavy to tell.
You may have told yourself, “It wasn’t that bad,” or “Other people have been through worse.” You’ve buried it deep, hoping it will go away. But here’s the thing: ignoring the pain doesn’t make it disappear. It finds other ways to show up – like burnout, anxiety, or feeling stuck in a loop you can’t break.
I want you to know that the past doesn’t have to define you or keep hurting you.
Here’s what trauma feels like.
Trauma doesn’t come with a one-size-fits-all label but has similar effects.
- The invisible weight: You carry a heaviness that no one else can see, but it’s always there.
- Overreacting or underreacting: Your body has a mind of its own – either going into overdrive at the slightest trigger or shutting down completely.
- The replay reel: Certain memories repeat in your mind, making it hard to focus on anything else.
- Always being on guard: It’s exhausting to feel you must protect yourself, even in safe spaces.
- Feeling stuck: You can’t move forward no matter what you do.
If any of these sounds familiar, you’re not broken and don’t have to live this way forever.
I can help you heal from trauma.
Trauma has a way of making you feel trapped in the past. Together, we’ll work to break free from it, not by avoiding it, but by facing it in a safe and manageable way. Here’s how our work will unfold.
Step 1: Building Safety – Before we dive into the heavy stuff, we’ll focus on creating a space where you feel secure. This means going at your pace, building trust, and ensuring you’re not just ready for the work. We’ll also ensure you’re supported.
Step 2: Reprocessing the Pain – Trauma can feel like a tangled knot you can’t undo. Using approaches like EMDR and somatic techniques, we’ll start to untangle it gently. You’ll finally be able to revisit the hard stuff without reliving it, releasing its control one piece at a time.
Step 3: Reclaiming Your Story – The thing about trauma is that it tries to rewrite your narrative – convincing you that you’re weak, broken, or unworthy. Part of our work will be rewriting that story to honor your strength, resilience, and healing ability.
Step 4: Moving Forward – Trauma healing isn’t about forgetting the past. It’s about taking away its power to control your future. By the end of our work, you’ll notice the shift: calmer, less fearful, and the freedom to truly live in the present.
Trauma intensives may be for you.
For those who want to jumpstart their healing, I also offer trauma intensives – focused, extended sessions designed to help you make quick progress in a shorter amount of time.
Whether you’re ready to tackle a specific memory or need to get unstuck from a recurring pattern, an intensive offers the space and time to explore it further.
Trauma work isn’t easy.
I won’t pretend it is, but I promise you won’t have to face it alone.
Collaborating with me is like having a guide who knows the path but also knows that your journey is your own.
I’ll walk beside you, helping you navigate the hard stuff while reminding you of your strength and capacity to heal.
We’ll laugh when we can (because, yes, even trauma work can have moments of lightness), cry when needed, and celebrate every win.
There are benefits to committing to the work.
Rather than constantly replaying those painful memories, you can let go. Tension will become replaced by feeling safe and at ease in your body.
You can reconnect with who you are beyond the pain.
Building healthier relationships with others and with yourself will become easier.
Finally, you can live a free, joyful life that is yours alone.
