Trauma & PTSD
Feeling Trapped by Past Trauma? Healing Is Possible.
Living with the impact of trauma can be incredibly painful and isolating. If you’ve experienced something that shook your sense of safety and stability, you may still carry the emotional weight of that experience—long after the event has passed.
Do you struggle with vivid flashbacks, disturbing dreams, or overwhelming emotions tied to a specific memory? Do certain thoughts, sensations, or situations trigger intense distress or anxiety? These are common signs of unresolved trauma or post-traumatic stress. Your brain and body may react to everyday moments as if the original threat is still present, leaving you feeling out of control, hyper-alert, or emotionally numb.
Trauma can present itself differently in each person. You may experience:
- Hypervigilance
- Feeling disconnected or numb
- Feelings shame and/or self-blame
- Irritability and anger
- Withdrawal from others
- Sleep disturbances
- Nightmares
- Intrusive memories or flashbacks
- Hopelessness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Easily startled
- Fatigue
- Agitation
- Muscle tension, aches, and pains
Everyone’s trauma is different. Some memories may fade, while others linger—surfacing through reminders you can’t always avoid. You may find yourself stuck in a cycle of emotional pain, longing for relief, peace, and a sense of meaning. You don’t have to carry this alone. As a trauma-informed psychotherapist, I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma, process painful memories, and rebuild their sense of safety and self-worth.
