“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”
-Peter Levine
Trauma-Informed Care
I recognize that trauma - including complex trauma (cPTSD) - can have a profound impact on the nervous system, relationships, emotions, and overall well-being. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and heard.
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I provide trauma-informed medication management and supportive care tailored to your individual needs. Together, we may explore practical coping skills, grounding techniques, body awareness, and other evidence-informed approaches to help regulate your nervous system, reduce distress, and build resilience. When appropriate, I also collaborate with therapists and other members of your care team to support a well-rounded approach to healing.
Healing doesn’t require sharing every detail of your story before you’re ready. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable, focusing on helping you feel more grounded, supported, and empowered as you move forward.
