My Approach
Virtual Trauma Therapy Offered in Florida and Colorado
Healing Beyond Insight
You may already understand a lot about yourself.
You can recognize patterns, make connections to the past, and even know what you “should” be doing differently.
And still, something deeper isn’t shifting. That is often where trauma therapy begins.
My approach is collaborative, relational, and grounded in the understanding that many of the responses causing distress today once developed for a reason. Together, we work to understand what your mind and body learned to expect, protect against, and prepare for, while helping you build a different relationship with yourself in the present.
Trauma is not just held in the story you know how to explain.
It shows up in body sensations, emotional reactions, implicit beliefs, relationship patterns, and protective responses that happen before you have time to consciously choose them.
Because of this, our work may be both conversational and experiential.
I will encourage you to slow down and notice what is happening internally and explore different parts of yourself that seem to want different things.
At times, we may follow your system into memories, felt senses, and emotional learnings that feel active in the present. At other times, the work may simply involve making sense of what happened, finding language for experiences that were difficult to name, or practicing a different way of relating to yourself in real time.
An Integrative Approach to Trauma Therapy
I draw primarily from EMDR and parts work using an Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework, using parts work and EMDR both on their own or integrating them when that combination feels most useful.
EMDR gives us a way to work directly with traumatic memories, triggers, beliefs, and emotional experiences that remain unresolved.
IFS offers a framework for understanding the internal responses that developed around those experiences and the ways they may still be trying to protect you.
For some clients, one approach becomes the primary focus. For others, the two naturally overlap.
My objective is not to make you fit a particular therapy model, but to use my clinical expertise in ways that align with what you are experiencing and what your system needs.
