Trauma can be from a single incident or from various events across time. Changing the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us. You may be feeling disconnected from your body, feeling shame, or anger without fully understanding whether you are responding to the present moment or the past. Through somatic therapy we can explore the moments you feel blended to bring clarity, release stored grief or tension to help you live in the present moment.

Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Trauma is what happens when we experience something that is overwhelming or life-threatening. Sexual or physical abuse, neglect, accidents, natural disasters, crime, loss of loved ones... All of these things can leave a mark. Our brain responds to trauma the way it has for thousands and thousands of years. And while that helped us survive in more primitive times, today it can leave us unable to function, riddled with fear and anxiety, avoiding the very things that used to bring us pleasure. At its worse, trauma becomes Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. The good news is that the field of psychology, through the use of brain imaging, has developed powerful treatment approaches to the resolution of trauma and PTSD. The field of Somatic Psychology has been a hotbed for the development of effective treatments including EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, and Sensori-Motor Psychotherapy. With 25 years of experience, training in many of these approaches, and both an MA and Ph.D. in Somatic Psychology, I am eager to help you recover from the devastating impact of trauma.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional and psychological trauma is the consequence of exceptionally stressful events that destroy your sense of security, making you feel helpless and vulnerable in a dangerous world. Immediately after the traumatic event, you may be struggling with upsetting emotions, frightening memories, or a sense of constant danger. Or you may feel numb, disconnected, and unable to trust others.
Traumatic experiences often involve a threat to life, security or safety. Any event that leaves you feeling overwhelmed, fearful and alone can be traumatic. In fact, the event does not need to involve physical harm. It is not the impartial facts that determine whether an event is traumatic. Rather, a person’s subjective emotional experience of the event is relevant. The more scared and helpless you feel, the more likely you are to be traumatized.
When horrible situations occur, it can take some time to adequately deal with the pain and feel safe again. Psychologists can help individuals find constructive ways of managing their emotions. With the proper treatment and support, you can speed your recovery. Regardless whether the traumatic incident occurred years ago or yesterday, you can heal and move forward with your life.
Facing and resolving the unbearable feelings and memories you have long avoided is imperative in healing the emotional and psychological trauma. Otherwise the symptoms will reoccur in an intrusive, distressing and unmanageable manner.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CChT
Trauma is not just something that happened in the past—it can continue to show up in your body, relationships, and the way you experience the world. I help clients gently process painful experiences while understanding how trauma has shaped their thoughts, emotions, and nervous system responses. Using a trauma-informed approach that integrates somatic therapy, attachment work, and evidence-based strategies, we work together to create safety, build resilience, and help you reconnect with yourself.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma takes a physical and mental toll on a person. Trauma can render you tied up in a knot, unable to get free. Children experience and understand trauma differently from adults. They do not have the vocabulary to express their distress, so they act out. If your child is experiencing difficulty sleeping, have nightmares, being emotional and hypervigilant, therapy can be very helpful in reducing symptoms. I use play therapy, art to help children express their thoughts and feelings and teach them coping mechanisms to calm down, relax.
Trauma in adults looks a bit different. You might feel hopeless, helpless, unable to stop the flashbacks and nightmares. It might be hard to work or maintain relationships. It might result in substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, or risky behaviors. Don't wait to get help. You can break free from trauma and live a happy, satisfying life.
