Therapy for trauma in New York State
Healing What’s Been Held for Too Long
You move through the world carrying unspoken wounds — from childhood experiences, systemic harm, or moments when your identities weren’t seen or honored. Even when life looks successful on the outside, trauma can live on in the body and nervous system, showing up as emotional numbness, high anxiety, or a deep sense of disconnection.
Through EMDR and somatic therapy, I offer a grounded, affirming space to gently process what’s been held for too long and support your journey back to wholeness, safety, and self-trust.
You might be a good candidate for trauma therapy if you notice any of the following:
You’re highly alert or easily startled, even when nothing’s wrong
You avoid certain people, places, or memories without fully understanding why
You have trouble trusting others or feeling safe in relationships
You experience intense emotional reactions that feel out of proportion to the moment
You feel stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, no matter how hard you try
You carry a deep sense of shame, guilt, or not feeling “good enough”
Your body feels tense, shut down, or unfamiliar to you
Past experiences still feel present or unfinished, even if they happened long ago
You’re ready to step out of survival mode and into a life that feels grounded, whole, and truly yours.
How therapy works
You can learn to release what no longer serves you and grow into your next chapter.
Trauma therapy offers a supportive space to gently process painful experiences that may still be shaping how you move through the world. Trauma isn’t always about one major event—it can also stem from years of subtle harm, identity-based stress, or relationships that didn’t feel safe. Even if you’ve learned to cope, unresolved trauma can live in the body and nervous system, making it hard to feel fully present, connected, or at ease.
In our work together, we use EMDR and somatic therapy to help your system release what’s been held—without needing to relive every detail. EMDR supports your brain in reprocessing stuck memories and shifting old patterns, while somatic practices help you tune into your body’s signals and build a sense of safety from the inside out. Over time, this work can help you feel more grounded, more like yourself, and more free to move through life with clarity and confidence.
