Trauma Therapy for PTSD & CPTSD in Portland, Oregon

Trauma can continue to shape how you feel, think, and respond long after the original experience has passed. It may show up as anxiety, emotional reactivity, numbness, or a persistent sense of being on edge or unsafe.
We provide trauma therapy for PTSD, CPTSD, and attachment wounds, helping you understand how past experiences are affecting your present life while building the capacity to feel more regulated, grounded, and in control.

How Trauma Shows Up

  • feeling constantly on edge, hypervigilant, or easily triggered
  • emotional overwhelm or difficulty regulating reactions
  • numbness, shutdown, or disconnection from yourself
  • intrusive memories, flashbacks, or recurring thoughts
  • difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in relationships
  • patterns of avoidance or withdrawing from life
  • chronic anxiety, fear, or a sense of unsafety
  • attachment wounds affecting connection and intimacy

Our Approach to Trauma Therapy

Trauma is not just about what happened—it’s about how your system adapted to survive it. Those adaptations can persist as patterns of hypervigilance, shutdown, or reactivity that feel difficult to change.
Our work focuses on helping you understand those patterns without overwhelming you. We move at a pace that supports safety and stability, building your capacity to stay present while processing what has been difficult to hold.
In our work together, we will:
  • identify trauma responses and patterns that feel automatic
  • understand how trauma shows up in your body and emotional reactions
  • build skills for grounding and emotional regulation
  • process experiences gradually and safely
  • increase your sense of stability, safety, and choice in how you respond
We integrate trauma-informed approaches including IFS-informed therapy, somatic awareness, ACT, and relational therapy, adapted to your pace and needs.

Who This Is For

This work may be a good fit for you if:
  • you feel stuck in patterns of fear, reactivity, or emotional shutdown
  • your body reacts strongly even when you want to feel calm
  • you struggle with trust, safety, or closeness in relationships
  • past experiences continue to affect your present life
  • you want to feel more grounded, stable, and in control of your responses

I work with individuals, couples and adolescents navigating life transitions and evolutions—chapters of change that ask us to reimagine who we are. My work often centers on experiences of grief and identity—how we hold what’s been lost, and how we rediscover ourselves in what comes next.
