Trauma Doesn’t Just Live in the Past.

It Lives in the Nervous System.

You may know you’re safe now —
but your body doesn’t feel that way.

If you’re experiencing:

  • Intrusive memories

  • Anxiety or hypervigilance

  • Emotional shutdown or numbness

  • Reactivity in relationships

  • Shame that won’t loosen its grip

  • Trauma-related sexual difficulties

You are not weak.
Your nervous system is doing exactly what it was wired to do: protect you.

WHAT ART & EMDR DO

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are structured trauma treatments that help the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer feel immediate, overwhelming, or activating.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, these approaches:

  • Work directly with how trauma is stored in the brain

  • Reduce emotional intensity of memories

  • Shift negative beliefs (“I’m not safe,” “It was my fault”)

  • Calm nervous system reactivity

  • Create lasting changes in how experiences are held

You remain in control throughout the process.
You do not have to relive trauma in detail for it to heal.

Over time, clients often report:

  • Reduced triggers

  • Less emotional flooding

  • Improved sleep

  • Greater sense of calm

  • Increased capacity for intimacy and connection

The memory doesn’t disappear —
but it no longer runs the present.

IS TRAUMA THERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU?

Trauma therapy can be helpful if you’ve experienced:

  • Childhood emotional neglect or instability

  • Sexual trauma

  • Medical trauma

  • Birth trauma

  • Relationship betrayal

  • Sudden loss

  • Chronic stress or high-conflict environments

You don’t need a single catastrophic event for trauma therapy to help.
Repeated invalidation, chronic stress, or relational harm can shape the nervous system just as powerfully.

Because much of my work centers on sexual health and relationships, trauma therapy can also be integrated with:

Sexual pain treatment

  • Desire and intimacy concerns

  • Attachment and relationship patterns

Trauma is not a character flaw.
It is a nervous system adaptation.

Healing is possible.

You don’t have to keep managing symptoms alone.
You don’t have to keep explaining away reactions you don’t fully understand.

ART and EMDR offer a structured, evidence-informed path toward nervous system regulation and emotional relief.
