Trauma-Informed Therapy
Trauma-informed therapy offers a compassionate, carefully paced space to explore how past experiences continue to shape the present. This work recognizes that trauma is not just something that happened—it is something the body and nervous system may still be responding to. Therapy focuses on safety, choice, and understanding rather than re-exposure or pressure.

What Sessions Are Like
Your Role & My Role
Your role is to remain connected to what feels tolerable and to communicate boundaries as needed. My role is to provide steady support, attunement, and guidance—helping you notice patterns, regulate responses, and remain grounded without pressure or overwhelm.
Session Pace
Sessions move slowly and intentionally, guided by what feels safest for you. There is no expectation to revisit traumatic experiences before you’re ready. The focus is on stabilization and awareness first, allowing deeper work to unfold only when appropriate.
What Happens in a Typical Session
Sessions may include conversation, gentle reflection, and attention to emotional or physical cues as they arise. We work collaboratively to understand how trauma shows up in daily life, with room for pauses, silence, and grounding whenever needed. You are always in control of what is explored.
Why This Work Can Lead to Meaningful Change
Group psychotherapy offers the unique experience of being witnessed and supported by others. Many participants find that shared understanding, feedback, and connection help foster deeper self-awareness, reduce isolation, and strengthen relational skills that extend beyond the group setting.
