Trauma & PTSD Therapy for High-Functioning Adults
You May Not Think of It as Trauma
When you hear the word “trauma” do you immediately bristle, thinking Trauma? Nope, not me. I had a roof over my head. Good food to eat. All the toys in the catalogue. My parents were there. Was it perfect? No, but it wasn’t Trauma!
And yet…
You often felt alone with your feelings. You learned not to need too much. You figured out how to handle things yourself.
No one may have yelled. No one may have hurt you. But no one really saw you either.
Not in the ways that helped you feel deeply known, loved and safe.
And so you adapted. You became responsible. Capable. The Good Girl. The Good Boy. Self-sufficient.
But now you notice…
Anxiety or restlessness that’s always there
Difficulty trusting others
People-pleasing or perfectionism
Emotional numbness or lashing out in anger
Feeling alone, even in relationships
Difficulty asking for help
A harsh inner critic
Using alcohol, work or other problematic behaviors to cope
You may look successful.
But inside, you carry a heavy burden. You might not even call it trauma.
But your body remembers what it didn’t receive.

Let’s Get Through This Together
How Trauma Therapy Works
Understand how trauma and current coping strategies have impacted your life.
Help you develop new coping strategies and positive resources to feel more grounded and secure in the present before moving into any deeper trauma work.
Develop the trust in yourself to move beyond your past and live the life of your choosing, knowing you have what you need to face life feeling more connected, confident and resilient.
I’ll help you through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and going at a pace that feels right for you. My approach to trauma comes from a place of warmth, safety and compassion.
Creating a space where you feel safe is most important in trauma recovery paired with extensive training in effective trauma treatment. Because therapy should be a place where you feel deeply heard, seen and respected.
If you’re tired of feeling on edge, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns you can’t explain, I’m here to help.
imagine a world where…
You don’t feel defined by your past struggles.
You understand the purpose your coping strategies served in the past, but know they are not your authentic self. You now feel free to live fully and have the relationships you deserve.
You feel more at home with who you are and what you’re feeling.
You no longer rely on problematic behaviors to distract from your feelings. You have a new relationships with your emotions, one where you listen with curiosity and compassion. As a result you are acting in ways more aligned with your values and your authentic self.
You feel more connected to yourself and others and enjoy healthy relationships.
You are comfortable settings boundaries for yourself while simultaneously building close and healthy relationships.
I want you to know:
Change is possible.
Let’s work together to get to the root of the problem so you can experience long lasting change rather just coping.

Common questions about trauma therapy
-
Many people assume trauma has to involve a single dramatic event, but that isn’t always the case.
Trauma can also come from experiences that were subtle or ongoing — such as emotional neglect, growing up in an unpredictable environment, or feeling responsible for others at a young age.
If you notice patterns like chronic anxiety, a harsh inner critic, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from your own needs, it may be worth exploring whether unresolved experiences are still affecting you.
Trauma therapy can help you understand these patterns and begin to gently shift them.
-
No. Trauma therapy does not require you to relive or retell everything in detail.
In our work together, we move at a pace that feels safe and respectful.
The goal is not to overwhelm you, but to help your nervous system gradually process experiences that may still be affecting you.
Approaches like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapy allow us to work with trauma in ways that support healing without traumatization.
-
Every person’s healing process is different.
Some clients begin to feel relief from some symptoms within the first few months of therapy. Others choose to continue deeper work over a longer period.
Rather than rushing the process, we move at a pace that allows meaningful and lasting change to occur.
