You’ve survived something that changed everything.
And now you’re trying to find your way back to solid ground.
The weight of what happened.
It came out of nowhere and feels like it swept away the life you once knew. It’s hard to even remember what it was like to feel connected to yourself and others, and to feel even remotely safe in the world. Or maybe what happened just confirmed what you already expected.
These days, passing by where it happened – something or someone that looks or smells similar – and it all comes rushing back. You can’t sleep. You feel irritable and jumpy, always looking over your shoulder.
You feel like you are to blame, that maybe you deserved what happened. You isolate from others and don’t feel close to your loved ones like you used to.
I see your pain, and you are not alone.
How I help you.
I use a few evidence-based approaches to address trauma at the source, prioritizing getting you feeling better and more like yourself. You choose the method that feels most accessible to you.

Written Exposure Therapy
WET
Protected time to write about what happened, with focused prompts each session and a debrief together afterward.
Either way, you get a chance to work through the pain of what you experienced and find a way forward – integrating this painful chapter into the broader narrative of your life.
What healing looks like.
The shackles loosen and lose their grip.
You feel less depressed and anxious.
You feel hope for the future.
Your sleep improves – no more trauma nightmares.
Old triggers lose their power.
You feel close to your loved ones again.
Nothing can take away what happened, but we can make it so that you don’t have to re-live it every day.
Ready when you are.
It’s time to reclaim your life. This is a chapter, not the full book of you. Let’s talk and see if this feels like the right fit.
