Healing Begins Here

When Trauma Disrupts Your Story, Therapy Can Help You Rewrite It

“Trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.”

-Bessel van der Kolk from The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

Have you experienced something painful that still lingers—keeping you stuck in fear, shame, or self-doubt? Maybe it was a traumatic event, a toxic relationship, or years of spiritual pressure that made you feel like you had to be perfect to be worthy. You may be functioning outwardly, but inwardly, you're exhausted from carrying so much.

As a trauma therapist and Christian woman, I understand how trauma can affect your sense of identity, safety, and even your relationship with God. Whether you’re recovering from a specific event or years of emotional or spiritual pain, therapy can help you find clarity, healing, and peace.

Common Trauma Experiences I Work With:

• Emotional, physical, or sexual abuse

• Religious trauma or spiritual abuse

• PTSD and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)

• Anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional numbing

• People-pleasing, perfectionism, or fear of failure

• Church harm, purity culture wounds, and fear-based theology

My Approach to Trauma Therapy

I offer Christian trauma therapy that blends clinical excellence with deep compassion and spiritual sensitivity. I use a personalized and integrative approach that may include:

🌀 EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

Helps process traumatic memories and reduce the emotional charge they carry, so you can feel more present and at peace.

🧩 IFS-Informed “Parts Work”

Also called Ego State Therapy, this helps you connect with the younger, wounded parts of yourself with kindness—bringing healing from the inside out.

🕊️ Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy

If faith is part of your story (even if it’s changing), we can include your spiritual beliefs and questions in a safe, honoring way.

Why Work With a Christian Trauma Therapist?

Faith can be a deep source of strength—but when it’s tied up with trauma, it can also feel confusing or even painful. I offer trauma-informed therapy that honors both your emotional needs and your spiritual journey. My goal isn’t to push a specific theology—it’s to hold space for your authentic healing, wherever you are.
