Trauma Therapy
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy supports trauma healing by helping clients safely reconnect with their bodies, where trauma is often stored as sensations, tension, or shutdown rather than just memories. Through gentle awareness, grounding, and regulated movement or breath, we work to allow the nervous system to release survival responses and build a felt sense of safety and control.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS helps heal trauma by identifying and gently connecting with the protective and wounded parts that formed in response to overwhelming & traumatic experiences. By approaching these parts with curiosity and compassion, we can unburden pain, reduce inner conflict, and restore a sense of safety and self-trust.
