Sometimes things that have happened in our pasts continue to affect our presents in painful ways.
We might feel intense shame or guilt about things that have happened, even many years later.
Maybe you become frustrated or angry with yourself for the feelings and reactions you experience.
On top of that, you may not believe there’s anyone you can talk to about what you’ve been through, and how things are now.
If you’re grappling with the profound effects of extreme stress or trauma, I extend a compassionate hand. Understanding the unique challenges stemming from experiences of trauma, I am here to support you through the journey of healing. Whether you’re contending with intrusive memories, flashbacks, or emotional dysregulation, change can happen. Together, we’ll develop tailored coping mechanisms, address symptoms like hypervigilance or avoidance, and foster resilience to help you regain a sense of control, build emotional stability, and embark on a path towards reclaiming a more balanced and fulfilling life.
As a therapist who regularly works with trauma via online platforms, I can attest that this approach is both safe and highly effective. Research into trauma treatment approaches delivered via teletherapy skyrocketed after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it shows comparable outcomes to traditional, in-person sessions. Numerous studies have explored the efficacy of trauma-focused therapies delivered online, including EMDR, and have found similar results to traditional, in-person therapy in terms of symptom reduction, improvement in functioning, and overall treatment satisfaction. I gained experience providing treatment for trauma both in-person and virtually even before the pandemic, and the research matches my clinical experience: that the same transformation and healing can happen, regardless of the medium.
Receiving help from a therapist with a trauma-informed approach can help you heal and begin shaping the life you want for yourself going forward.
If this rings true for you, I hope you’ll get in touch so we talk about how I can help.
