You can take back control.

Healing-centered therapy for trauma recovery.

Trauma can leave lasting imprints on your body, your beliefs, and your relationships. We offer compassionate, trauma-informed therapy to help you make sense of what happened, reconnect with yourself, and heal at your own pace.

Whether you’re processing a recent event or living with the long-term effects of complex or developmental trauma, our approach is rooted in curiosity, courage, and deep respect for your story.

Here is what we know:

Therapy can help you identify where you are now, where you want to be, and how to get there.

Core types often include:

  • Single-Event Trauma: Trauma resulting from one incident, such as an accident or assault, which may lead to intrusive memories, avoidance, or heightened anxiety.

  • Repeated or Prolonged Trauma: Ongoing exposure to distressing events, like chronic abuse or domestic violence, often causing persistent fear, numbness, and difficulty trusting others.

  • Complex Trauma: Multiple, layered traumatic experiences over time, frequently in early life, which can impact a person’s sense of identity, relationships, and emotional regulation.

  • Attachment Trauma: Disruptions in early caregiving relationships, which may show up as struggles with self-worth, boundaries, and feeling safe in connection with others.
