Therapy for Trauma in Providence, RI.

Serving MA, RI, and VT

Do you struggle to come to terms with things that happened in the past?  

Maybe you…

  • Experience chronic people pleasing, avoid conflict, or struggle with rigid perfectionism.

  • Always feel anxious or agitated.

  • Are overwhelmed by your emotions.

  • Struggle to form healthy relationships, or feel like you can’t get close to anyone.

  • Feel like you’re stuck in the past.

Therapy can help.

It may feel impossible now, but you can make peace with your past. You can:

  • Increase your understanding of how past events impact your current experiences.

  • Learn to regulate your emotions when they feel overwhelming or out of control.

  • Learn to overcome a feeling of numbness or disconnection.

  • Identify the tools you need to break free from unhealthy behaviors so you can find peace. 

My approach to trauma therapy is rooted in empowerment:  supporting you to listen to your body so you can tune into it’s internal wisdom and finally feel safe again.  

It’s time to take back control of your life.
