Gentle, Transformational Therapy to Feel Calm, Whole and Fully Alive

Trauma can change everything — how you think, feel, and react to the world. Even your health.

You may notice yourself snapping at loved ones, shutting down, or feeling on edge for no clear reason. You might replay the past in your mind, or do everything you can to avoid thinking about it. Your traumatic memories affect you whether you’re thinking about them or not.

You Might Recognize Yourself Here:

  • You’re easily startled or constantly scanning for danger.
  • You avoid people, places, or situations that remind you of what happened.
  • You have nightmares, flashbacks, or intrusive memories.
  • You feel disconnected from yourself or others.
  • Your emotions swing from numb to overwhelming.

Trauma Doesn’t Have to Be Permanent

Trauma imprints itself on both mind and body — images you can’t forget, sensations that return in certain situations, emotions that rise without warning, and automatic reactions you can’t explain.

Talk therapy can bring understanding — insight into what happened and why the trauma is still causing suffering. For real relief, you need to resolve these patterns of information the trauma left behind.

That’s where my work comes in. Using gentle, fast-acting Energy Psychology methods, we can find and dissolve the stored patterns that keep you on high alert — without forcing you to relive the worst moments of your life.

What This Work Can Help You Experience

  • Feeling safe in your own skin.
  • Staying calm in situations that once triggered you.
  • Enjoying connection without the fear of being hurt.
  • Letting the past be in the past — not replaying in your mind or body.

You don’t have to carry this forever.

You can set yourself free from the effects of what happened. You can live without the constant pull of the past.

I understand that talking about trauma can feel overwhelming. That’s why I use Energy Psychology to help you feel more comfortable — and in control — when we approach sensitive experiences. We can even heal without going into the full details of your memories, sometimes with just the smallest touch on them, like dipping a toe in the water. This makes the process gentler, safer, and still extremely effective.
