Trauma therapy
Therapy for trauma, PTSD, and complex PTSD, including experiences that happened over time rather than as one identifiable event.
Read moreTrauma therapies I use, and how the work actually goes
These are different approaches within one practice, not a menu you have to choose from. We may draw on several of them over the course of therapy, depending on what you need and what feels manageable at the time.
You do not need to know which approach is right before you get in touch. We can talk about that together.

The therapies, by name
If you have already been searching for one of these approaches, you can start here. You do not need to know the terminology to benefit from the work.
EMDR therapy
A structured, trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and the thoughts, emotions, and body sensations still connected to them.
Read moreSomatic therapy
An approach that includes bodily sensations and responses as part of the therapeutic work, helping you notice what your body is communicating rather than working only through words.

What the work is building
These are less about the name of a therapy and more about what you may be working toward, including the practices we use in session and between sessions.
Nervous system regulation
Learning to recognize activation earlier and develop more ways to return to a sense of steadiness and safety.
Read moreEmotional healing
Learning to notice, experience, and work with emotions that may have been difficult to access, express, or make sense of.
Read moreMindfulness

“You can know you are safe and still be unable to feel it. That gap is where mind-body work can begin.”
Anjana Iyer, Registered Psychotherapist
Do you have to choose one?
No. These approaches are not separate boxes. Different parts of the work may become more useful at different points in therapy.
- Somatic work helps us notice what your body is communicating, sometimes before you have words for it.
- EMDR provides a structured way of working with specific distressing memories when there is enough stability to approach them.
- CBT can help with patterns that shift when you change what you do, how you respond, and how you interpret what is happening.
- Mindfulness helps make the work more accessible in everyday life, including between sessions.
Still not sure what you need?
You don’t have to know before you reach out.
