Trauma
Healing trauma is a highly vulnerable, personal, individualized, and even sacred process. I am here to provide you a safe and supportive space to help you name and process these traumatic life experiences.
I specialize in the following types of trauma:
-
Racial trauma (traumatization related to experiences of racism)
-
Developmental and complex trauma (traumatization related to chronic neglect, abuse or other harsh adversity at homes when growing up)
-
Single event trauma (traumatization related to a singular natural disaster or man made event)
How can therapy help?
​
I use phase oriented treatment specifically for trauma. The focus of the first phase is to help you feel safe. I use various approaches and grounding exercises to provide a calm and safe space. I also strive to build a therapeutic relationship with you that is trusting, supportive and open. The main goal is to increase safety and decrease distressing trauma symptoms.
​
Building on the foundation of the first phase, the next phase is to process trauma memories and its impact on you and further help you to assess your trauma in a different way.
​
The last phase is to help you find agency. I assist you to feel empowered and develop skills and strategies to handle potentially harmful situations, such as a racially charged encounter or a toxic relationship. Knowing that you have resources, support, and tools gained from therapy, you will be able to restore a healthy life.
