Trauma Therapy & Nervous System Regulation

Healing Doesn’t Have to Mean Reliving the Worst Moments of Your Life

Trauma isn’t just about what happened to you. It’s about what happened inside you in response—how your nervous system stepped in to protect you, how you adapted to survive, and how those patterns are still running the show long after the danger has passed.

Maybe you feel stuck in survival mode. Maybe it’s the shutdown, the spirals, the people-pleasing, the inner critic that never lets up. Maybe it’s the sense that no matter how much work you do, you still don’t feel safe in your own body.

That’s not a flaw. That’s a survival response. And it makes sense.

This work is about helping your nervous system, your inner child, and your present self feel safe—maybe for the first time.

A Trauma-Informed, Nervous System-Aware Approach

Trauma therapy isn’t just about talking through what happened. It’s about tuning in to what your body still carries, what your younger parts still believe, and what your system needs to finally exhale.

We’ll work together to gently build capacity, foster safety, and reconnect you to the self-compassion and trust that trauma often steals. That includes inner child work, reparenting practices, and body-based techniques that don’t just help you understand your trauma—they help you heal it.

What We’ll Focus On

🧠 Nervous System Regulation & Awareness

• Learn how your nervous system responds to stress and threat (fight, flight, freeze, fawn)

• Practice regulation tools that gently shift you out of chronic survival mode

• Build awareness of what safety feels like—so your body can begin to trust it

👶 Inner Child Work & Reparenting

• Get to know the younger parts of yourself that still carry fear, shame, or unmet needs

• Learn how to show up for those parts with curiosity, compassion, and care

• Rebuild the sense of protection, soothing, and affirmation you may have never received

• Develop a daily reparenting practice that supports long-term healing and integration

💥 Understanding Triggers & Automatic Responses

• Identify emotional and somatic triggers that feel overwhelming or confusing

• Explore how trauma-related beliefs (“I’m too much,” “I don’t matter,” “I have to earn love”) still play out

• Learn to interrupt reactive cycles and respond from your grounded, adult self

🌿 Somatic Therapy & Emotional Processing

• Use body-based tools like movement, breathwork, visualization, and grounding to discharge stuck energy

• Engage in gentle, titrated processing—we go at your pace, and you’re always in control

• Create new somatic experiences that reshape your nervous system’s relationship to safety

🛑 Boundaries, Attachment & Relational Healing

• Explore how trauma shaped your ability to connect, protect, and advocate for yourself

• Learn how to set and hold boundaries without guilt or shutdown

• Repair your internal sense of self-worth and rebuild trust in relationships

🔥 Complex Trauma, CPTSD, and Chronic Stress

• Work through the effects of relational trauma, emotional neglect, and developmental wounding

• Address hypervigilance, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and burnout

• Understand how trauma intertwines with ADHD, anxiety, or chronic dysregulation

This Is for You If…

✔ You feel like you're stuck in survival mode, even when you're "fine"
✔ You’re tired of feeling hijacked by triggers, old patterns, or emotional shutdown
✔ You want to heal without having to re-live everything
✔ You’ve been in therapy before but need something more body-based, compassionate, and integrative
✔ You're ready to meet your inner child with the love, safety, and boundaries they’ve always needed

Why Self-Compassion Is Essential to Trauma Healing

Trauma often leaves behind not just fear, but shame—the deep belief that you were the problem. That if you'd just done better, spoken up, shut down, run faster, tried harder… things would have been different.

That’s not the truth.

In this work, we cultivate self-compassion as both a healing tool and a form of resistance. You’ll learn how to treat yourself with the same care you would offer someone you love—especially the parts of you that feel hardest to love.

My Approach

My work is grounded in trauma-informed, body-based, and relational healing practices that support your growth at a sustainable pace. I integrate:

• Somatic Experiencing & Polyvagal-Informed Techniques

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) & Parts Work

• Reparenting & Inner Child Dialogue

• Nonviolent Communication & Boundary Restoration

• Mindfulness, Movement, and Breathwork

• Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Principles

This isn’t about rushing through pain or checking boxes. It’s about rebuilding a relationship with your body, your story, and your sense of self.

You Don’t Have to Heal Alone

Whether you’re navigating childhood trauma, chronic stress, relational wounds, or emotional burnout, you deserve a space where your healing is centered on choice, safety, and self-trust.

You are not broken.

You are not too much.

You are not behind.

You are a whole, complex human who adapted in brilliant ways to survive.

Let’s work together to build a life that doesn’t require you to keep surviving.
