Therapy for Trauma

Trauma is often described as experiences that feel overwhelming—too much, too fast, or too soon. These events can deeply impact our sense of safety, trust, and emotional well-being. While some traumas stem from singular incidents, others develop over time, such as childhood adversity, unhealthy relationships, or ongoing stress. Trauma can manifest in many ways, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, or difficulties in relationships. You do not have to navigate this alone. Trauma therapy provides a safe space to process past experiences, understand their impact, and begin healing in a way that feels supportive and empowering.
