For individuals who have experienced difficult or traumatic events throughout their life, the effects of these events may last many years if not fully processed. This may include childhood experiences, difficult relationships, or a singular acute event. No matter what this looks like for you, I will support you in discovering what impact these events may have and identifying ways to change and adapt patterns.

For individuals with chronic illness and other difficult medical conditions, there are often a lot of obstacles involved in treatment with medical professionals. Sometimes, this may result in medical trauma and re-traumatization when dealing with ongoing treatments. This trauma is just as impactful as other past trauma, and therefore should be treated as such.

Through techniques of EMDR and/or art therapy, we can support the brain’s ability to work through these events and move forward from any lingering impact they may have. If you want to do this work but don’t feel 100% ready- that’s okay. We can take our time getting there, building new tools and skills for coping and emotional processing first. Or, if you’re ready to dive in and tackle your trauma, we can do that, too!
