Healing that respects your pace
Trauma & PTSD Support
Painful experiences can leave a lasting imprint on how you feel, sleep, and move through the world. Trauma therapy offers a safe, steady way to process what happened and reclaim a sense of calm and control. All sessions are virtual and confidential.
This might be for you if...
- Unwanted memories, flashbacks, or nightmares that interrupt your day or sleep
- Feeling on guard, jumpy, or unable to relax
- Avoiding people, places, or conversations that remind you of what happened
- Feeling numb, disconnected, or far away from your own life
- Guilt, shame, or self-blame that you cannot seem to shake
How We Help
What working together looks like.
Gentle, proven methods
We use approaches with strong research behind them, explained in plain language, so you always know what we are doing and why.
You stay in control
You decide what to share and when. Pausing, slowing down, or changing direction is always welcome.
Understanding It
What this can feel like.
Trauma is not only about what happened. It is about what your mind and body had to do to get through it. Long after the event is over, your nervous system can keep acting as if the danger is still here. That is why certain sounds, places, or dates can set off a reaction that feels bigger than the moment.
This can look like trouble sleeping, a constant sense of being on alert, or feeling numb and far away from your own life. Some people avoid anything that reminds them of what happened. Others feel it in their body as tension, pain, or exhaustion. None of this means you are broken. It means something happened that was too much to carry alone.
Trauma therapy helps your mind and body learn, slowly and safely, that the threat has passed. Virtual sessions make this easier for many people, because you can do hard work from the one place your body already knows is safe: home.
Approaches We Use
Methods with research behind them, explained plainly.
Grounding and stabilization
Practical skills that help you feel steady in your body and in the present moment, before any deeper work begins.
Paced trauma processing
Careful, step-by-step work with difficult memories, always at a speed you agree to and can stop at any time.
Cognitive approaches
Gentle work with the beliefs trauma leaves behind, such as self-blame or a sense that the world is never safe.
Body-based awareness
Simple ways to notice and calm the physical signals of stress, since trauma often lives in the body as much as in memory.
Virtual Sessions
What online sessions look like.
Trauma sessions happen over secure video and run about 50 minutes. Working from home often suits trauma therapy especially well: you are in a familiar space, you can have a pet or a comfort item nearby, and there is no waiting room to manage before or after a hard session. Your therapist will help you plan what you need before and after each session so you feel supported on both ends.
Common Questions
Questions people ask before starting.
Will I have to describe my trauma in detail?
No. Good trauma therapy does not require you to retell everything. We focus first on helping you feel stable, and you always choose what to share and when.
How do I know if what I went through counts as trauma?
If an experience still affects how you feel, sleep, or relate to people, it is worth talking about. There is no threshold you need to meet before asking for support.
Can online therapy really help with PTSD?
Yes. Research supports virtual trauma therapy, and many clients find that being in their own safe space during sessions makes the work feel more manageable.
How long does trauma therapy take?
It depends on what you are carrying and how your life looks right now. Some people feel real relief within a few months, while deeper or older wounds take longer. We review progress together as we go.
What if I feel worse before I feel better?
That can happen when painful material starts to move, and it is something we plan for. We go slowly, build coping skills first, and check in often so you never feel flooded or alone in it.

Your First Session
No pressure. Just a conversation.
The first session is about getting to know each other. We will not ask you to recount painful events in detail. Instead, we talk about what life looks like now, what you want to feel differently, and how we can build a plan that feels safe.
