Trauma therapy for what happened, and for what it taught you.

• Adults who grew up with an abusive, narcissistic or unpredictable parent
• People with complex PTSD, or PTSD from a specific event
• People whose trauma shows up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, hypervigilance or burnout
• Adults with ADHD or autism whose trauma has been missed or misread

Trauma work goes in stages. First we make sure you have enough stability and tools to handle what comes up. Then we work on the memories and beliefs directly. Then we look at how you want to live now that they have less of a grip.

I do not use one method for everyone. I choose approaches based on what fits you, and I explain why. You set the pace, and you do not have to tell me everything to start.

• EMDR: Reprocessing distressing memories so they stop running the present.
• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): A structured approach to the beliefs trauma leaves behind.
• Parts work (IFS-informed): Working with the inner critic, the people-pleaser and the part that is still scared.
• Trauma narrative: Turning fragments into a story with a beginning, middle and end.
• Attachment-focused therapy: How early relationships shape the ones you have now.
• Somatic therapy: Body-based tools for a nervous system that will not settle.
• CBT: Practical work on the thoughts and habits that keep you stuck.
• Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy: With BetterU, for trauma and depression that has not shifted with talk therapy alone.

Sessions are $180 for 60 minutes after a $200 initial assessment. I am in network with Anthem, Aetna and United through Alma, and provide superbills for other plans. See all fees.
