What is complex trauma therapy?
Complex Trauma and Childhood Trauma Counseling in Hendersonville, NC
If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, panic, or fear as a result of childhood trauma or complex PTSD, then working with a therapist could help you heal from years of suffering. I work from an attachment and somatic-focused lens to treat trauma, utilizing EMDR, IFS, and other therapies to support my clients’ healing.
A somatic, integrative, and attachment-focused approach to help you heal from childhood and complex trauma.
I want to help you find out who you really are underneath the years of suffering you’ve endured. You have become so resilient, and along the way, lost the person you were meant to be. You’ve lost joy in things you thought you liked, lost connections with people you were nervous to get close to, or have trouble even feeling the BIG, scary, and wonderful emotions in life. At times, it all feels so numb.
I will help you understand why you’ve built these protective parts of yourself, while creating a safe space for you to discover and embrace your true identity, sexuality, independence, joy, pleasure, voice, and self-expression. You deserve the space to heal. Whether it’s in the office, on tele-health, or in nature, I am here to walk with you through your journey back to yourself.
When all you know is fight or flight, red flags and butterflies all feel the same.

Short answer, it depends. Most of my client are in therapy with me for 1-2 years, as treating trauma is a long term process. When you begin the healing process, your body will tell us how fast or slow we need to go to keep you safe. Some people are ready to jump in quickly, and some people take longer to feel safe within the healing space and within their nervous system. We will go at your pace.
