Trauma Counseling

You deserve a safe space to heal from what happened—and the freedom to live beyond it.

Trauma therapy can help you understand the ways past experiences continue to shape how you feel, relate, and respond in the present.


At The Fort, trauma counseling begins with safety. Together, we can work at a pace that respects your experiences, your boundaries, and your capacity for healing. The goal isn't simply to push through or “get over” what happened. It's to help you develop greater emotional safety, self-understanding, regulation, and connection—while feeling more fully at home in yourself.

Healing can create the freedom to live with greater resilience, courage, and strength.

Focus Areas

My Approach

I draw from EMDR, IFS-informed EMDR, experiential approaches, and other individualized therapeutic strategies to meet you where you are.

Together, we can work to process experiences that continue to impact your life, strengthen your sense of safety and connection, and break through the barriers that keep you from living as freely and fully as you want.

The goal isn't just to heal from the past. It's to create more freedom in the life you get to live now.
