Trauma Recovery Counseling

Trauma recovery counseling with me is built on safety, respect, and choice. You stay in charge of the pace, and you never have to share details before you feel ready. My role is to walk alongside you, not to push.

Trauma can come from many places-childhood experiences, relationships, medical events, accidents, systemic harm-and it often shows up as anxiety, numbness, irritability, shame, or feeling "stuck." Together, we will focus on helping your nervous system feel safer, so you can move from constant survival mode toward more steadiness.

Sessions may include grounding skills, learning to recognize triggers, understanding your responses with less self-blame, and slowly making sense of what happened in ways that feel manageable. I draw from trauma-informed approaches that prioritize your sense of control and dignity. The goal is not to erase your past, but to loosen its grip so you can live with more freedom, connection, and self-compassion.
