Common Questions

  • Do I have to have PTSD or be a veteran to do trauma therapy?

    No, trauma can show up as depression, anxiety, irritability, or various other symptoms. I will assess if trauma therapy is a good fit for you during your intake evaluation.

  • Do I need trauma therapy if I didn't experience a "big" trauma?

    It doesn’t matter how “big” or “little” the event was. If your body stored the event in the body as traumatic, trauma therapy may be a good fit for you.

  • What if I don't want to talk about it? Can I still do trauma therapy?

    Many trauma therapies do not need you to share the details of the trauma. We focus on the body’s processing of the pain and I will follow your pace.
