You Don’t Have to Keep Reliving What You’ve Been Through

A traumatic event can leave a lasting imprint, one that continues to show up long after the event has passed. You may find yourself feeling on edge, easily triggered, disconnected, or pulled back into memories and sensations that feel difficult to control.

Even when you understand that you are safe, your body may continue to respond as though the past is still present.

This is not a failure of willpower. It’s your nervous system doing what it learned to do to protect you.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop when the brain and body are unable to fully process overwhelming or distressing experiences.

It may show up as unwanted and intrusive thoughts or memories, heightened anxiety or hypervigilance, emotional reactivity or feeling easily triggered, avoidance of people, places, or situations, feeling disconnected, numb, or shut down, and having difficulty sleeping or fully relaxing.

These responses are not random, they are adaptive patterns that have become stuck.

Neurobiological Approach to Working with PTSD

While traditional talk therapy can offer insight, trauma is often held at a deeper, neurobiological level. My work focuses on helping you access and process these experiences in a way that allows your system to begin to release what it has been holding. Using Brainspotting, we work with the connection between the brain, body, and nervous system, supporting deeper processing, regulation, and integration over time.
