The weight of the past can feel impossible to carry.
You may find yourself reliving distressing events, waking from nightmares, or feeling constantly on edge. For some, it shows up as numbing or disconnecting from yourself and others. Trauma has a way of stealing your sense of safety and making daily life — relationships, work, even rest — feel harder than it should.

If this sounds familiar, I want you to know two things: you are not broken, and healing is possible.

At Luminous Minds, therapy for trauma is about creating a safe, supportive space where you don’t have to carry it alone. Together, we’ll work gently and intentionally at your pace — so you can begin to process the past, reduce its impact, and move toward a calmer, more connected life. I draw from several approaches to support this process, including:

● EMDR to help your brain reprocess painful memories and reduce their intensity.
● CBT to challenge unhelpful beliefs trauma may have left behind.
● Mindfulness & grounding strategies to help you feel safer in the present.
● Person-centered therapy so your unique experiences, strengths, and needs always lead the way.

Through our work together, you can expect to:

● Feel less overwhelmed by intrusive memories or triggers.
● Reclaim a greater sense of safety and calm in daily life.
● Strengthen your resilience and emotional balance.
● Reconnect with your authentic self and with others.

Healing doesn’t erase the past — but it can help you stop reliving it and start seeing it in the rearview as you live more fully in the present.
