Trauma and Past Experiences
Trauma can feel like living with a body that stays on alert or shuts down without warning.
You might notice hypervigilance, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting, or reactions that feel bigger than the moment in front of you. Many people arrive here carrying experiences that still live in the nervous system while trying to keep life moving. From the outside things may look steady, but internally it can feel exhausting and hard to settle.
-
-Hypervigilance or feeling constantly on alert
-Emotional numbness or disconnection
-Reactions that feel bigger than the current moment
-Difficulty trusting yourself or others
-Startle response, tension, or feeling unsafe in your body
-Avoidance of places, conversations, or memories
-Shame, self-blame, or persistent inner criticism
-Feeling stuck, frozen, or shut down
-Sleep disruption, vivid dreams, or restlessness
-A sense that your system never fully settles -
This work is for adults who notice the ongoing impact of past experiences in their nervous system, relationships, or daily life and are looking for steady, supportive care.
Trauma therapy does not require retelling your story or revisiting memories before you feel ready. Early work often focuses on stabilization, safety, and building internal resources before any deeper processing is considered.
This approach is a fit for people who want to move at a paced, collaborative rhythm and who are open to building skills for grounding, regulation, and trust in their system over time.
It may not be the right fit for those seeking rapid exposure-based work or immediate trauma processing. The priority is steadiness, not urgency.

How Therapy Helps
Therapy focuses on helping your nervous system feel supported, stable, and less reactive over time. Early work often centers on grounding, regulation, and building internal resources so your system has more capacity and choice in how it responds.
What Sessions are Like
Sessions may include conversation, somatic awareness, and brainspotting, always paced collaboratively. The goal is not to force processing, but to support steadiness, reduce overwhelm, and help you feel more anchored in your day-to-day life.
