Trauma and burnout can manifest as symptoms of depression such as low energy, difficulty with motivation, and experiencing a loss of pleasure in life. Trauma therapy including EMDR, IFS, somatic and behavioral interventions can help relieve these symptoms.

Anxiety can be rooted in trauma or can be an expression of nervous system differences or the neurodivergent experience. We will explore the root causes of anxiety and address them using a variety of therapeutic approaches. Trauma processing, Somatic, Mindfulness, and Acceptance-based behavioral approaches could be part of the answer.

Therapy for anxiety also often involves addressing underlying physical, emotional, and lifestyle needs and building a life that works for your nervous system!

Complex trauma can manifest as intense emotions or feelings of emptiness and numbness. EMDR, IFS, Brainspotting, and other powerful somatic modalities work directly with the brain and nervous system and are a powerful alternative to talk therapy.

Distressing memories and trauma-based feeling-states and sensations can be integrated with our strengths and resource-based states to allow new experiences of calm, safety, and joy.

Neurodivergence-affirming therapy is about learning to recognize the unique ways your brain and nervous system works, cultivating acceptance of the gifts and challenges of ADHD, Autism, and other neurodivergence, and building a life that supports you.

ADHD, Autism, OCD, and other neurodivergence can also dynamically relate to trauma including attachment trauma, bullying, or underachievement. Neurodivergence-affirming trauma therapy balances acceptance work, practical support, with nervous system support and reprocessing traumatic experiences.

Feelings of disconnection from yourself, others, or life are common with trauma. Dissociation is a powerful tool that may have helped you survive.

Trauma therapy can help you develop greater understanding of and control over dissociative experiences as you grow into a safer present.

Client with dissociative identities and experiences are welcomed at this practice. We will meet you where you are at and work collaboratively on healing goals.

Narcissistic abuse including within the context of high demand groups or religious trauma can leave you feeling disoriented, distrustful of yourself and alone.

We offer therapy which is grounded in developing your understanding the nature of narcissistic abuse and its impacts, and rebuilding one’s sense of self and self-trust.

If this has been part of your journey, we would be happy to walk alongside you on your path to healing.
