Trauma Co-Exists with Growth and Healing
The worst things that have happened to you don’t erase the Big You—the part of you that’s steady, strong, and always present beneath the pain. That wholeness is still within reach.
In PTSD therapy, one of the most important steps is learning to redefine what your trauma means.
Not to minimize it, but to stop letting it control how you see yourself—and to begin seeing the possibility of growth and healing alongside the pain
Appointments are generally available within 24 hours.
My Approach To PTSD Therapy
PTSD therapy is about helping you reconnect with the steady part of yourself—the “Big You”—so trauma no longer controls the story.
We go at a pace that feels safe. I combine trauma-informed CBT, mindfulness, and practical skills (grounding, breath work, and body-based calming) to reduce reactivity, build tolerance for difficult emotions, and restore a sense of choice.
What Is PTSD?
Post-traumatic stress is a natural response to overwhelming experiences.
For some people, symptoms fade over time; for others, they linger and get in the way of daily life.
PTSD can follow a single event (accident, assault, medical emergency) or ongoing stressors (childhood adversity, repeated exposure to threat).
Therapy helps your nervous system learn that the danger has passed—and that you’re safe now.
