Online Trauma Therapy

Book Consult

Are you tired of feeling like you’re just treading water?

Online trauma therapy can help.

Something happened.

Maybe it was just one thing, or maybe it’s been many. Maybe you didn’t even realize it was a big deal at first. You wake up every morning and it takes so much effort to just make it through the day. Everyone expects you to just move on with your life. People say you’re too sensitive, moody, or angry. When you try to explain how you feel to your friends and family, you feel like they don’t understand. You feel alone and disconnected. Everyone else is going on with their lives, so why can’t you?

“I know it wasn’t my fault, but…”

I often hear my clients blame themselves

Sometimes it feels impossible to believe you aren’t to blame, even when everyone tells you it isn’t your fault.

My approach to therapy is focused on helping the logical/thinking part of your brain connect to the deeper emotional/feeling part of your brain so that you can stop the war between them. Instead of just saying, “I didn’t cause this,” you can truly believe it and feel it in your body. I use somatic brain-body therapies like Brainspotting and EMDR to help you tap into your brain’s natural healing processes so that we can heal trauma and negative beliefs.
