The many faces of trauma
Trauma doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some live with PTSD symptoms like re-
experiencing memories, feeling constantly on edge, or startling easily. Others cope through avoidance, numbing, or dissociation, while complex trauma from childhood can deeply shape one’s sense of safety and trust.
Regaining safety and regulation
Together, we work to calm the nervous system and expand your capacity to manage difficult emotions. This might mean learning to notice triggers, easing hyperarousal, or finding ways to stay present without becoming overwhelmed. Over time, many people discover a new steadiness—a sense of safety inside themselves that once felt out of reach.
Reconnecting with self and others
Because trauma is relational, healing often involves discovering safe connection. Therapy provides space to slowly rebuild trust—with yourself, with others, and with your own body. As shame and isolation loosen their grip, you may begin to feel more grounded in relationships and in your sense of self.
Beyond survival: Post-traumatic growth
Healing doesn’t erase the past, but it can change the way those experiences live inside you. Many find that trauma work leads to greater depth in relationships, new meaning, and a renewed sense of strength. Post-traumatic growth becomes the shift from merely surviving to truly living.
