Trauma, Crisis & Adversity

Trauma and crisis fundamentally alter how your body and mind perceive safety. Whether stemming from interpersonal violence, sudden loss, domestic abuse, or institutional harm, trauma requires careful, paced support that respects your autonomy at every step.

I provide immediate crisis navigation, suicide prevention, PTSD care, and trauma support for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Safety, agency, and consent drive all trauma work in my practice. I am trained never to push past your nervous system's tolerance window or force you into overwhelming exposures. We combine de-escalation and stabilization tools, crisis navigation, and relational support to help you re-establish felt safety in your body and life.
