Trauma is experienced differently for everyone. What is identified as trauma is also subjective. Trauma can actually change brain chemistry. Understanding how it affects the client now and why they are experiencing the symptoms can help in the process of coping and living with the trauma.

Trauma & PTSD: From Survival to Sovereignty
Rewiring the Alarm and Reclaiming the Present
Trauma is not just what happened to you; it is the "residue" left behind in your nervous system. It is a state where your body remains stuck in a past moment of danger, leading to a life of hyper-vigilance, emotional overwhelm, and systemic burnout. In my practice, we approach trauma with radical compassion and clinical precision, working to help your brain finally move "the then" out of "the now."
The Landscape of Traumatic Stress
Trauma often lives in the "wordless" parts of the brain, manifesting in ways that logic alone cannot reach. We work together to address:
The High-Alert System: Navigating the constant state of "fight or flight" that leads to irritability, insomnia, and an inability to relax.
The Shut Down & Dissociation: Addressing the "numbing out" or the feeling of being disconnected from your body—a protective freeze response used to survive the unbearable.
Attachment Trauma: Exploring how early "systemic" wounds in the family or spiritual community have shaped your ability to feel safe in relationships today.
A Specialized Path to Resolution
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate deep-reaching, somatic-based modalities to move beyond "talk therapy" into true neurological healing:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): As an EMDRIA-trained clinician, I use this gold-standard treatment to help your brain process traumatic memories so they no longer trigger the same intense physical and emotional distress.
IFS-Informed "Parts" Work: We get curious about the parts of you that are "stuck" in the trauma—the protectors, the exiles, and the managers—helping them find a new role in a safe present.
Systems Theory & Social Inequity: We acknowledge how external forces—power imbalances, systemic inequity, and spiritual trauma—contribute to and sustain a sense of "un-safety."
Sanctuary for the Healer
I have a "special love" for working with therapists and pastors who are carrying their own "unprocessed" trauma while holding the trauma of their communities. You deserve a peer-level space where you can finally put down the armor of the "helper" and address your own wounds with a clinician who understands the weight of your role.

The Art of Rest
Life Coach, M.S. Psychology
Dagny is trained as a research psychologist who spent four years studying the biomedical markers of sleep, mindfulness, and self-compassion —all from the lens of the stress-response and nervous system lens. In this training, Trauma and PTSD are two major compenets Dagny is passionate about. Additionally, Dagny understands the ins and outs of what trauma and PTSD do to the human experience and finds a compassionate way forward. When addressing trauma and PTSD Dagny helps teach and guide on how stress impacts our body, and what to do when things like sleep become elusive, social problems become larger, and anxiety or depression creep in the backdoor. Her tactics range from state-of-the-art stress science that helps pull out different elements of stress-health as well as dives into contemplative practices like dreamwork and behavioral routines around stress and sleep-related anxiety. She is highly successful at helping folks find a restful night and restful life, regardless of how long it's been since they've had one.
