Trauma Therapy in New Jersey & Pennsylvania
You deserve to thrive, not just survive.
Trauma doesn’t always look the way we expect it to.
Maybe you’re exhausted but can’t rest, stuck in a relationship you know isn’t good for you, or crying all the time without knowing why. Maybe the doctor says nothing’s wrong, but you still don’t feel okay. It can show up in work, school, and relationships too—making it harder to focus, connect, or show up like you used to.
You’re here because you know there has to be more to life than just getting “through it.”
SOMETIMES UNRESOLVED TRAUMA CAN LOOK LIKE:
Missing a part of yourself—feeling hardened, distant, or unable to access the person you once were or the person you hope to become.
Processing oppression or discrimination—seeking healing from experiences of racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism, or other systemic harm.
Feeling deeply alone—even in a room full of people, you feel like no one truly understands what you’ve been through.
Wanting change but feeling frozen—knowing what you want but unable to move toward it, no matter how hard you try.
Experiencing unexplained physical symptoms—chronic pain, nausea, dizziness, brain fog, or other noticeable experiences within your body.
MY APPROACH
Your brain and body have been doing their best to protect you.
When it comes to working through trauma, we don’t dive into painful experiences headfirst. Instead, we’ll start by cultivating a deep sense of safety and connection. This strong foundation includes: ensuring you feel at ease sharing your story to the extent you're comfortable, helping you understand how trauma affects the brain and body, and exploring tools like mindfulness, DBT, and somatic practices to support regulation. Before anything else, we establish a space where you feel safe enough to do the deeper work.
What to Expect in Therapy
Our work together isn’t only about the past — it’s about helping you build the life you want today. In therapy, you can expect to:
Strengthen your sense of safety and self-trust
Set meaningful, realistic goals
Develop tools to manage stress and triggers
Feel more present and connected in daily life
Healing takes time, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Many clients notice shifts within the first few months as they begin to feel lighter and more hopeful.
