Trauma isn't just an event that happened in the past, it is the lingering impact it leaves on your mind, body, and nervous system. Whether you are navigating a single sudden event, childhood relational wounds, or chronic high-stress survival modes, trauma can make the world feel unpredictable and exhaustion feel constant.

My practice offers trauma-informed therapy rooted in safety, somatic regulation, and neurobiology. Healing requires more than just talking about what happened; it requires helping your body realize the threat is finally over. I meet clients where they are, combining evidence-based tools like EMDR, somatic grounding, and relational support to help process painful memories, restore felt safety, and build long-term resilience.

Areas of Support

Trauma manifests differently across every stage of life. I provide counseling in person in Bellingham or virtually, anywhere in Washington State for:

• PTSD & Complex Trauma (C-PTSD): Processing long-term relational patterns, childhood emotional neglect, chronic stress, or repeated painful life experiences.

• Single-Incident Trauma: Helping the brain and body recover after acute distress, such as sudden loss, medical emergencies, or physical accidents.

• Nervous System Dysregulation: Finding relief from chronic anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, body tension, and the constant feeling of being on edge.

• Child & Adolescent Trauma: Supporting children and youth through early adversity using gentle, somatic, art-, and play-informed methods.

How We Heal: Therapeutic Approach

True trauma recovery happens at a pace that honors your nervous system. Our work together may include:

• EMDR Therapy: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps the brain reprocess stuck traumatic memories so they lose their emotional charge.

• Somatic & Body-Based Tools: Learning practical grounding techniques to soothe survival responses (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn) and expand your capacity for ease.

• Expressive & Play-Informed Care: Utilizing creative, non-verbal outlets for younger clients who process feelings best outside traditional talk therapy.

• Relational Safety: Creating a non-judgmental, collaborative environment where you remain in control of your healing process at every step.
